potentiometers

(I realize this is probably a dumb question, but I know next to nothing about electronics nor do I know how to solder, so please try to bear with me...) So, I was looking at some wiring diagrams out of curiosity and noticed how on all of them the ground wires are soldered to the backs of the...

Hey i have i problem on my bass's trebble boost/cut pot. It works but if I turn it all the way to one side, it will cut the sound completely. the bass boost under it works fine. As a tone pot, it is not supposed to act as a volume. What could be the problem. I have checked for loose wires...

Hello everybody, I have some questions and TB has always been a great resource. Thank you in advance for any input. I’ve only wired Precision and Jazz pickups so wanted to weigh some options on my beloved Danelectro bass. It has three lipstick pickups wired in series with concentric volume/tone...

is possible to connect a C1M potentiometer in place of A1M? i have only C type (antilog or reverse audio i thing named). i measure out of curiosity the 1-2 pins and have the same results on multimeter ( increase the resistance clockwise ) ..i don't understand the difference. (at last until I...

I've got an old Squire SQ series P bass that has an added J pickup - It's wired V/T with a 3 way on-on-on mini toggle switch, so I can do P/both/J. Here's the issue, I want to put a new pick guard on, but don't particularly want to add another hole, whether it's for another volume knob or a...

Are there any potentiometers that you particularly like the feel of? The pots on my new G&L Fullerton SB-1 have almost no resistance when turning them. In comparison, the pots on my old G&L ASAT Bass have a smooth feeling with some resistance to movement. The bass sounds and plays great. Yeah...

I searched this but to no avail. When I see an old Fender bass for sale here on TB, the owner usually includes a picture of the pots (potentiometers) from below, with the control plate or pickguard in a dis-assembled state. If the owner does not include such a photo, they are often asked for...

Hi everyone, The plastic discs inside my Yamaha RBX 775 pots were crushed into little pieces all of a sudden. I want to replace them but can't quite understand what kind of pots they are. I know my options for an active bass are A25K or A20K, and that the dimensions should be compatible with my...

I recently purchased a hazlab clone Electronics board to go into a bass. Has anyone had experience with them or has one especially and could tell me what potentiometer goes for the bass and treble or the configuration of such. I can't find much information or schematics of them any help would be...

Rewiring my spector legend 5, finding the aguilar electronics to be too clear, round and boomy for my taste. Currently has aguilar dcb soapbars (passive) made active by way of the odp-2 preamp. Controls are: volume, volume, treb boost/cut, bass boost/cut Trying to achive a sound more similar...

Trying to clean up the electronics on this bass I came across. Originally changed the capacitor to get more treble bleed and remove some of the excess solder. Removed ragged copper tape sheilding. Took schematic from G&L ( G&L pickups). Without moving the wiring, the volume pot began...

A while back I found a really good website that had just about every vintage fender pot and had them listed to match dates and serial numbers. Dang if I can't find it again. Can someone point me in the right direction? I have a 75 P and would like to replace the old pots with NOS.

Hello all, I'm sorry if this has already been covered in here (probably multiple times), but I just dropped off my BTB746 into the shop with a bart NTMB pre-amp to replace the stock Ibanez pre, naively thinking this would be an easy job. The tech called me and said that the pots were all wrong...

Hi All, I want to upgrade my old bass electronics, because it's cheap and fun, but mainly because there may be an issue, although I can't tell for sure. My setup is rather unusual as my bass is passive and has 2 volume pots for the J and P pickups + a blend pot (with middle dent). A 4th pot is...

Hi, Love my Fernandes 5 string, but the pots need replacing. The pickups are FGIs Q. Replacing pots oneself - do it yourself or take to the luthier? I can manage a soldering iron and spanner Q. How do I work out which pots to buy? Your wisdom appreciated. Cheers James

Restoring a bass with soap bar humbuckers. Wired the pickups direct to the guitar cord to make sure they worked, they did and I liked the sound. The question, what value of potentiometer do I need to reproduce this effect, 500 ohm or 1000 ohm or? TIA!

I was curious if anyone knows if the pots in Fender’s bass lineup differ by bass. I have a 2018 MIM Player Precision. Are those the same pots used in the American Professional or some of the other higher grade P Basses? I was thinking of swapping out my pots for these Golden Age Pre-wired...

Does anyone know the pot values for the JS2 bass? I'm wondering whether they're 250k or 500k and I can't find anything that says what they are. I'm looking to potentially buy this bass guitar.

Are all concentric pots the same? I mean, I'm well aware that the top part controls one thing and the bottom part controls another ie Treble/Bass etc..; But here's my "dilemma", My jazz bass control plate has enough room for 4 potentiometers/pots and 1 mini toggle switch, the preamp that I...

I am working on my first build, and I picked out the Fishman Fluence Bass pickups. The thing I do not like about the electronics is the voice switch. I much prefer rotary so it matches the other controls. Does anyone know how the 3 position voice switch, DPDT ON ON ON, can be replaced with a...

Hey I try to look in google but I did'nt find where I can buy a master vol. Pot for a Fender rumble 500 v3 combo.. I broke it I don't know how but it happen. At the front says 30A500K At the back says RF R1660N A500k I wondering if some one can tell me where to get this.. Thanks

I want to upgrade my Fender Jazz Bass Aerodyne with "ObsidianWire Traditional Vintage For Jazz Bass". Will it work? I ask, because my bass have a PJ configuration.I didn't find any information about it. Week ago emailed to ObsidianWire, they didn't answer me...

Hey Jaguar folks, or any folks really.... I was wondering if I could get a little help on the pot and cap values for the Squier VM Jaguar Special. It's the passive one with VTVT setup. I had one a few years ago, but sold it to help finance a 5-er. I am working on a different bass that has...

I want to replace the volume and tone pots in my 51 reissue pbass. Can you point me to a supplier where I can get 250k audio taper split shaft minipots. Thank you..

I'm trying to dive deep on my understanding of guitar circuits than my current superficial one. First question: Is it pretty useless to try to create equations for simple circuits like you would for direct current and resistor circuits? I tried doing it for these two circuits (Single...
