500K pot where to buy?

Post by johnnyseven »

In a bid to tone down the treble on my Jazzmaster I fitted a 500K tone pot, however I bought a very cheap pot was has a crap taper on it. Can anyone point me in the direction of somewhere that I can get a better quality pot here in the UK that has a smoother taper? Preferably online so I don't have to leave my house as it's hot today.

I like allparts pots, theyre really high quality alpha pots. I hate the taper of CTS pots so I avoid wdmusic. Cheap alphas from axesrus do the job but they break pretty fast.

you could also just turn the volume down to around 8 or 9. this is exactly the same as putting in a 500k pot.
