http://www.acmeguitarworks.com/Jazz_Bass_Wiring_Kit_P1148.cfm If it is, it saved a ton of money over buying everything seperately from Allparts. Can anybody tell?
CTS pots, Orange Drop cap, Switchcraft jack, looks to be of as good a quality as any. If all you wanna do is fix up one bass, go for it. I prefer to buy in bulk on eBay for those parts, and it ends up being cheaper than that, but there's nothing wrong with that kit. I got 6 CTS 250K pots for $6, two caps for ~$2, and 4 jacks for ~$2. Search eBay before you buy, you may find a better deal accidentally.
Thanks John! Stupid question, but for an SX Jazz bass, should I get the split shaft or standard kit? EDIT: Never mind, just bought the standard wiring kit and some vintage set screw jazz knobs from guitarpartsresource.
I've done business with GPR before. I would definitely buy from them again. I can personally vouch for CTS pots and Sprague Orange Drop caps. They were a definite improvement over the stock stuff in my P and my J.
While I've got the attention of the electronics modders.... Am I going to have to worry about the tone knob after I install this thing? There's another thread in this subforum talking about how 250k pots and a .47 cap lead to no control with the tone knob. Is this something I should be worried about?
The Acme orange drops caps don't say "Sprague" on them so they probably aren't the real deal although they might sound the same
