john_the_bass Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 If I wanted to fit an S1 style series/parallel set up to a jazz without fitting a mini toggle switch, can I get hold of one of these S1 pots and switch knobs from anywhere - I've seen a couple of complete control plates go for sale on here and I'm not really looking to do that, just replace the pot. Other than that, a pull/push pot would do the job I suppose. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muppet Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 Short answer - no. Fender are highly restrictive in their S1 pots. You can't buy them as spares, so you either buy a complete control plate and swap it out (like the one I was selling on here but had no takers) or fit a generic push/pull to effectively do the same.

john_the_bass Posted December 5, 2007 Author Share Posted December 5, 2007 steve, did you sell it or have you still got it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldGit Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) I've found a US eBay site that offers S1 knobs and pots for Fender guitars. Worth asking for what you need [url="http://stores.ebay.com/The-STRATosphere_W0QQcolZ2QQdirZQ2d1QQfsubZQ2d999QQftidZ2QQtZkm"]http://stores.ebay.com/The-STRATosphere_W0...9QQftidZ2QQtZkm[/url] OG Edited December 12, 2007 by OldGit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't rate it highly enough. I wanted a stiffer pot after I had used it for a few months, sent it back to him & he changed it for free and even paid the postage back to the UK over Xmas. Must have cost about £80 initially including import duty, and only 4 wires (+ earth) to solder. He even provides heat shrink tubing for the connectors. Good luck!
