Need a blend pot for Audere Classic Preamp

Title pretty much sums it up. I emailed David at Audere, but I know he's closed his business, so I understand if he doesn't have the time or desire to help out. I have a pre running two pickups, but they didn't order it with a blend, so that part of the board is empty.

Any and all help greatly appreciated!

Ah, that would help.

Volume, lo-mid/hi-mid stack, bass/treble stack.

Wired proper with both pickups going into the preamp. Confirmed both are on and functioning.

We've got dedicated wiring (x2) for both pickups, single volume, and no blend? It's running at a fixed 50/50, I guess. Is there an empty wiring harness for an added blend pot?

Yes, appears to be. I just don't know what pot is needed or what three holes get used. I can likely look at enough pictures to figure out the connections if I can find the proper pot that is used for blend.

This is what I need

I can pull mine...but not tonight...and send pics & #'s of the pot and insert points for the balance. I have a classic module w/ volume, blend, mids, and stacked treble / bass.

This spot is open on the preamp, and from pictures, it looks like that is where the blend wires in.

What you need is a single gang 100K linear pot (B100K) with a center detent.

Orange/Black on Pin 1
Orange on Pin 2
Orange/White on Pin 3

Here's a reference pic for the pin #'s.

Hope this helps.
Thank you. I will go through the parts bin to see if I have one. I am having quite a time finding one to suit my needs with a longer threaded portion needed for a spector body. The only one I can find after some searching is from China on ebay. a plethora wihtout a detent, but I want a detent.

I hope I have one laying around!

I have an Audere Jazz bass control plate complete and another. I will never use them again. You are welcome to it just pay for shipping. It was working when I took it out. I also believe I have one without the control plate. If you want it just message me here.
