KingPrawn Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Evening chaps. Have any of you had any dealings with this outfit? I like the look of this loom. Its for a P bass hence so 250K is ideal. Like the idea of Audio Taper Pots. Can any one vouch for the Sprague " Orange drop" CAP? thoughts please Incorporates: Matched* CTS USA Custom Audio Taper 250K Split Shaft Volume & Tone Potentiometers - smooth linear volume and tone change (no bunching or on/off effect) 0.022uF Sprague "Orange Drop" Tone Capacitor** - removes the thinness and harshness inherent with budget capacitors Quality Jack Socket Bridge earth wire supplied with heatshrink tube to twist join with exiting earth, solder and insulate 1 Quote
KiOgon Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Custom Audio taper > smooth linear!? .022uF cap has no place on a P bass! What quality? Switchcraft or not? Twist and bodge! Just my opinion like 🙄 3 Quote

Switchcraft or not? Twist and bodge! Just my opinion like 🙄 Thanks for the input. I’ll take a look at your products. The part I think I’m overthinking is the relationship between the choice of pickup and the impact the cap will have on the tonal range. So if I buy for example some Delano PMVC 4 AL H. Pups. What cap& pots etc will give me the best pairing. I guess I’m overthinking it. I usually do. Quote

Last pickup was an over-wound split single coil. Not a big deal except I wanted it wound to 29.9k ohm. Dave was up to the challenge, run a few questions my way then he was all set. 4 days later I was installing the pickup. 11 hours ago, KiOgon said: .022uF cap has no place on a P bass! That's the cap value used on the Peavey Fury and Patriot (P-bass clones) and folks rave about those. The G&L LB-100 also had a .022uf cap. Quote

Dan Dare Posted February 26, 2021 Posted February 26, 2021 P bass is the simplest to wire. Diagrams all over the 'net. Buy the parts and do it yourself. Should take around 15 mins. 1 Quote
