Fionn Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Looking to replace a stacked tone / volume pot on my Aria SB. I've looked on all the guitar part websites but I can find one anywhere. It's a 500k / 500k stacked pot with a split shaft. Does anyone know where I can find one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikay Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Some John East preamps have concentric pots with a split upper shaft. May be worth having a chat with John to see if he can point you in the direction of a supplier. (http://www.east-uk.com/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Thanks for those links, gents. It's definately the split shaft that I'm after though. The old SB knob wont fit otherwise. I'll contact Mr East. Thanks for the suggestion. Bests Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionn Posted December 14, 2012 Author Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've still had nae luck finding the goodies. As said before ... 500k / 500k stacked pot, with a split shaft. If anyone can point me in the right direction I'll build a temple in their honour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted December 14, 2012 Share Posted December 14, 2012 I've had trouble sourcing these in the past. Solid shaft, fine. Split shaft non-concentric, fine. Split & concentric but 250k, fine. But 500k, split concentric... Nope. I had to order from China off eBay, took 18 weeks to arrive and it was rubbish, so I wont recommend. Can I suggest that you get one of the solid shaft CTS ones, and replace the knobs. not sure what ones you have but many are available as both split shaft and solid shaft type? Or you could go for a facelift, replace all the pots and knobs with solid kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
