Yes it was helpfull. Thanks.

I guess if a linear pot will reverse what I have going on with the audio pot, I would be better with that. Having finer control of the upper portion of the volume control for each PU is where I would want it. That's pretty much the sweet spot of mixing the two PUs. Right now with the audio pots...

Perfect. Exactly the information I have been looking for. I think the info I found on using audio taper for volume was found on a guitar site. I later found that linear pots are better for volume control on basses. I'll either go good quality linears on the volumes and good quality audio taper...

I found this when doing a search on linear vs audio taper: "Choosing audio (log) vs. linear depends on what you will be using the pot for. You should always use audio pots for volume control, otherwise you will find that the volume does not change smoothly as you turn the pot up and down...

I understand completely. At 75% mine seems to be at such a low signal. Running both volumes at 75% is very low. It seems that any usable signal is closer to the upper 80% with a audible jump to full signal at about 97%. Even if I had usable levels starting at 60% or even 70% I'd be mutch...

What I am actually wordering is if anyone has replaced pots with something else to give a smoother volume transfer between off and full beside the current low volume at 90% and full volume at 98% :help:

Exactly. I'm perfectly fine with current tones. Just looking for more control over the volumes for each PU. Right now there is so little room with the current volume pots that it's difficult to mix the two PUs with an accuracy. If I can get more volume control for each PU I will have infinate...

I've had my Fender Blacktop P bass for almost a year now. It's a great bass for cost and I like it a lot. I find it a bit more versitle in tones than my MM StingRay. Like many others with the Blacktop P and J basses, I too dislike the volume pots. The usable volume is in the last 10% and that is...
