Hi,
It is possible to get VBT with series / parallel push pull pot? Can’t see it listed.
cheers,
Tom
Yes Tom,
Can do but it's really not a comfortable combination to use, IMHO. With pick-ups in series the blend is redundant, as would a second volume control be. In parallel of couse the blend has control over the 2 pick-ups as normal, with volume and tone.
PM me for any more info please.

Always Audio or Log. (same pot/taper), for me (and a lot of satisfied bass chatters), 250K - yes.
-
I suggest; remove the green wire earth connection from the top lug of the blend pot to the body of volume pot and try it.

I can't get the Seymour Duncan link to copy/paste.

Thats the same pic I posted Ki0gon and from the same website.I stripped it down and started again from scratch.Now,both pups are on until the centre detent,and then both abruptly switch off.I'm going to leave it till tomorrow until my heads cleared a bit.Thanx for your input.
Sorry I didn't check the link before posting - my bad - that was not what I meant to post, apologies.

Should be good, although I always use Log. The S/D diagram is what I usually follow.

That drawing looks wrong, who wires the jack at the top of the bell plate and the blend t'other end? Wierd 😏

NO! No-one likes warm beer 😉

Tip from the past, always use big valve amps and keep your pie/pasty/fish & chips on top, over the vents - for after the gig 😜

34Hz to 7500Hz *ish* on decent PC monitors. My top end is dropping rapidly, or should that be drooping, like everything else 🤔

Lead solder melts at a lower temperature than lead free stuff, which can in turn reduce the potential for ‘burning out’ the carbon track inside of a pot when wiring it up.
The downside is that gives off poisonous fumes, and should be used in a well ventilated area. Be sure to wash your hands thoroughly afterwards too.
My own ‘top tip’ for soldering pots is to ensure that they are fully counter-clockwise before you start; this limits the amount of heat that can be transferred to the track inside them, this protecting them.
If you’re using lead free solder then your iron doesn’t need to be much hotter than about 220 degrees, lead solder will be fine at about 180/190.
180/190 Centigrade is equal to approx 350/375 Fahrenheiht, most digital display/controlled soldering irons will have switchable ranges.

Hi all,
I had to have the pots changed on my P bass but the original knobs won't fit, so the tech put some new ones on. They're slightly different, smaller and more rounded and I don't like them! Is there anywhere I can get original looking ones that will fit? How will I know they'll fit until I try them? May sound really petty but just feel these new ones spoil the look.
Thanks in advance,
Dave.
The 'tech' is a knob then 😃

If you're OK with local collection, maybe you can have a look at them before handing over your hard earnt, but if you're thinking of paying £75, probably more all in after shipping - NO.

The 2 big caps will be the most expensive obviously, while you're in there - or your tech. if you find one - I'd say replace all the electrolytics, they won't cost a fortune.
You could do with checking all the diodes too.
No armchair diagnosis is going to be perfect, there's no substitute for a real life inspection/repair/test.
I'd have a word with PJB first though.

How much is 750 in US$ or GB£? Can't tell if it is a bargain or not without that info, but if it plays well, it looks good 😀 happy days.
The Serial number on the head don't seem to match the tags?
