Volume pot replacement

[Steven Mabona]

Hello Friends
My Yamaha BBN5 has a broken volume pot size 100k. In case I do not find the original sizes is it possible to use different sizes for example 200k, 250k, 500k?
If so do I have to change all of them to the new size or do I only need to replace the broken one only?
If the sizes change, are there any other components such as resistors or so that may need to change?

Yes, but it should be about the same size ...
100k > active circuit???
A 50k pot might cause a loss of brilliance.
A 250k pot might make it too harsh
A 500k? Better not ...

A 100k pot is very common, they sell them in linear and audio taper at Radio Shack

$5 minimum order is easy enough. Not sure if you need linear or logear tapear.

I purchased a used natural finish BBN5 earlier this year.

I replaced the original pickups with a set of Dimarzio Area J 5s, changed the volume pots to 500k, and installed a .022 cap on the tone pot.

The bass sounds much better than it did stock.
