    How do you use a Bourns Potentiometer?

    This standard p/j diagram is what I'm going off of. Can anyone make modifications to this diagram, so that I can still use these Bourns pots. Instead of soldering to the back of these pots (like in the diagram) I should just connect through lug 3 on all pots and connect "wire to bridge"...

    How do you use a Bourns Potentiometer?

    Cwap. You don't happen to know of a mini-pot with extra long threads do you you? My cavity is just a tad deep (I added a plate on the front that added some extra depth). I,m trying to avoid having to make the cavity any deeper itself and it's kind of a small place to work with.

    How do you use a Bourns Potentiometer?

    Umm, I bought these pots because the base was smaller than a CTS and I was replacing the cheap mini pots in an Aerodyne Fender. How do you use them in a wiring setup? The casing is a conductive polymer...can you solder to them or what? I've never used them but they are touted as "very nice"...

    Help! 1/2 inch long thread mini-pots! Do they exist?

    Hi, I'm rewiring an older Aerodyne Jazz Bass and need to find some parts. I added a Jazz control plate and now I need longer shafted pots. It came with 3/8 inch mini pots loaded from the back via control cavity. Since I added the control plate in front:crying:, it added about an eighth of...

    Fender P PG Poll and... (Why the hell is there a hole under afformentioned PG?

    I've got a "wildcat yellow" tort guard that would be perfect for that guitar.

    Andy Rourke - The Smiths

    Andy Rourke was great. A great compliment to Johnny Marr's guitar playing. Without the Rourke lines, Marr's playing (fantastic) would not have sounded as lush and dramatic. Mike Mills is fantastic too. Whereas Rourke complimented Marr, Mills is the more the counterpart to Stipes vocals (first...

    Best Buy Music Center

    Went to Best Buy in Pasadena, CA. I was pleased and amazed to see their music store because I've got some gift cards laying around (I don't know why people give these things as gifts, can you imagine how much free money these companies make on lost cards, or unused portions of cards? It must...

    Tal is the man! (in a womanly way! )

    Although I am very smitten by her playing, it's her "stanky" bass face that impresses me the most.

    Recommend me a good Bass EQ Pedal?

    Interesting what you guys are using for eq's. I thought it would be simple. That Boss CMATMODS EQ looks interesting, a way to get a boutique style pedal for less (might even send him my CS-3 to mod). I've always liked the general sound of Boss pedals but HATED all the noise that they generate...

    Recommend me a good Bass EQ Pedal?

    That MXR looks great, just what I need. Right now I'm using a LR Baggs Para Acoustic DI which is a great product but not exactly what it's supposed to be used for. How are the ARTEC products by the way Maddest Hatter? I just bought their Power Brick cuz I didn't want to spend bucks on a...

    Recommend me a good Bass EQ Pedal?

    I'm looking for a really good sounding EQ for Bass. I've seen the Boss one but I'm generally not a fan of their products (at least the guitar stuff). Any one use a really good EQ pedal that's not over $150?

    Framus Crawlspace bass revealed ..

    Fantastic! Love old Framus gear (guitars, mandolins, all of it). By God, don't touch the fake f-hole decal! Some old Gretsch guitars have them (a Chet Atkins model I think) and nodbody thinks those are cheesy.

    Hi, I'd be interested. Don't have a cab at all and am looking. I just bought an eden wtx-260, so it would be an interesting match up. Let me know if you're going to sell it. sean
