    Help with Geezers' pot

    I put the EMG Geezer Butler PJ pickups in my Aerodyne, in February and I am really digging the tone (and lack of noise from the J). Unfortunately, the P volume pot has developed this kind of push-pull thing, so unless I'm actively pulling up on the volume knob, it mutes the P pickup. I checked...

    Push-pull volume pot problem

    Hello! I couldn’t find any thread about this problem and i’m not sure this is the right subforum but a month or so ago the volume pot on my bass started acting weird.

    Double concentric pots... What values??

    Hey, guys. So I currently have this 2 knob bass that's volume/volume. Both of the pots are 250k... I want to replace them with 2 concentric knobs for a stacked volume+tone on both.

Plays beautifully and is a definite keeper. The oddest thing, though, is...

    Replacement pot for vintage Fender Mustang.

    In need of some advice regarding a replacement volume pot on a late ’70s Mustang bass: Last night, the pot got stuck and this morning, in attempting to clean the insides, one of the two shaft prongs snapped off. Presuming a replacement pot is the best bet at this point? And if so, which...

    I have a bass that needs a new volume pot. The current one is scratchy and creates a huge amount of static when i adjust it. Being the volume knob, it is the one I use the most. It's to the point that I can't use the bass. At one time, either before I plugged in the bass or once I had it...
