Sorry to be basic, do you know the difference between log and linear. @rocknroller912 Here is the extent of my understanding of pots and wiring. Here are some pots and wires, and then I know nothing....

@rocknroller912 Well I like to use my volume. It’s mostly on full but I like to use it for dynamics like swells or to just clean up the sound. It would be weird to lose that control.

@mattbeels I always wonder why electric players even bother with volume controls they always go full blast - after the sound check and setting the levels of course. Controls just add circuit noise any...

@rocknroller912 Personally I can’t stand linear pots and I also can’t understand why they’re used in guitar circuits especially for the volume, d’oh!

@boo @rocknroller912 It’s a B250K

@boo Nothing complicated inside it’s just a carbon track connected to the rotating centre terminal. Either of the outside lugs can be connected to ground depending on which way you want it to turn. So...

Ive got some pots lying around from when I used to be interested in electronics. Was going to have a clear out one day so if you know the value, probably 250 or 500k ohms logarithmic or linear, I’ve p...

Look at the shiny shiny paint. Looking forward to seeing you paint with this @boo. 🙏🎶🎸🙂

No, it’s just a paint ratio mixing stick. @boo and I learned something about paint ratio mixing sticks! 🤪

@boo Looks super cool! Is that a viscosity guage or whatever it might be called?

Look at the shiny shiny paint. 😁

I mixed the paint. 😁 Attachment : 19A9EFE7-79EA-48CF-B6B5-CE14816C51CA.jpeg Attachment : 355DF43C-2BD9-438A-83E2-EA267E6F553A.jpeg

Just so long as it has a chameleon paint job @mattbeels Doh! 😖

I might just buy a new bass. 🤣🤣🤣 @boo Just so long as it has a chameleon paint job 😉

Yeah, that’s one way of not improving your soldering skills. Why not just order a pre made neck to go with it? @mattbeels I might just buy a new bass. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I might just order a premade replacement, already soldered. @boo Yeah, that’s one way of not improving your soldering skills. Why not just order a pre made neck to go with it? 🤔 ὠ...

You can’t get away without soldering anyway as those pickups have to come out and go back in. (Or new ones, better) @mattbeels I might just order a premade replacement, already soldered. I know I’ll ...

@boo Pushing it back in rarely (if ever) works, it’s definitely time for a new pot. You can’t get away without soldering anyway as those pickups have to come out and go back in. (Or new ones, better)...

Have you tried just pushing it back in @boo? @russ Of course. 😁 It will stay in there but it just keeps turning and turning, not doing anything useful. It doesn’t stop the guitar from working...
