best source for pots with long threaded segment?

[bongomania]

I have a bass with a rear-routed control cavity, and it needs new pots for a Bart NTMB pre. The face of the bass is fairly thick, and none of the pots I have on hand have a long enough threaded section to pass through the face and leave enough extra to attach the nut. I have been searching on Mouser and Jameco, and I can't seem to find any pots with a long threaded section.

So where should I look? Thanks!

FWIW, they are called long shaft pots.
Do you need 250K, 500K, 25K, 50K? What value?

 

[bongomania]

Not necessarily long shaft pots, no. The shaft that the knob attaches to is not the issue, it's the threaded portion that attaches the pot to the bass body that is the problem.

I need, ideally: a 50K lin, a dual stacked 50K lin, a dual stacked 250K "5A5C" taper, and a 25K audio.

Bongo, Line6 is saying that what you need is known as a 'Long Shaft Pot,' which means the threaded portion AND the actuator shaft are extended. See here, or Google 'Long Shaft Pots' and you'll find 'em:

OK, bumping this. I have spent way too much time on Google, and all anyone seems to have are 500K and 250K audio taper.

Does anyone here know of a source for other values of long shaft pot? I'll buy in bulk if I have to.

I'll buy in bulk if I have to.

Custom made pots are usually sold at a minimum quantity of at least 1000...

One down, three to go.

Woo hoo! Thanks Glenn.

Sure. If you haven't already tried these people they might have something, but good luck finding it.

I wonder if I'll have to pick a different preamp that just uses the three long shaft pots discovered so far?

 

[David Jayne]

I would think Bartolini would sell them to you, no? Maybe give them a call?

Or maybe get a luthier to just route the pocket a bit deeper? Kinda bring the mountain to Mohammad
