Great for bass mods

Used these to replace old scratchy pots on my bass guitar. The 250k option is perfect for passive bass pickups. No noise and very durable feeling.

Smooth action

Installed the 500k version on my Les Paul copy. The volume swell is very smooth, and the tone control works great. Highly recommend for DIY projects.

Good value for the price

Works well for a budget upgrade. The taper feels a bit different from my original CTS pots, but for the price, it's a solid choice for a backup guitar.

Perfect replacement for my Strat

These pots fit perfectly into my guitar cavity. The 15mm shaft was exactly what I needed for my pickguard. Smooth rotation and no crackling noise after installation.

Knob fit was tight

The potentiometer itself works fine, but the included knob was a very tight fit on the shaft. I had to use a bit of force to get it on. Otherwise, sound is good.

Solid component

Easy to solder and the threads are clean. The shaft length is accurate at 15mm. Took off one star because shipping took longer than expected, but the product is great.

5 FAQ

Q: Are the lugs pre-tinned for easier soldering?

A: The terminals are clean and ready for soldering, but they are not pre-tinned with solder. We recommend applying a small amount of fresh solder to your iron and the lug before making the connection for the best result.

Q: Is this pot suitable for active pickups?

A: These are standard passive potentiometers (250k/500k). While they can be used in circuits with active pickups, active systems typically require lower resistance values or specific audio tapers designed for active electronics. Please check your pickup manufacturer's recommendations.

Q: Can I use this for a push-pull switch configuration?

A: No, this is a standard rotary potentiometer without an integrated switch mechanism. For push-pull functionality, you would need to purchase a dedicated push-pull pot variant.

Q: Does the 15mm shaft fit standard US import guitars?

A: Many US-made guitars use longer shafts (often around 20-24mm) for thick bodies or carved tops. The 15mm shaft is typically suited for thinner bodies, import guitars, or specific pickguard mounts. Please measure your existing shaft length before ordering.

Q: What is the difference between the 250k and 500k versions?

A: Generally, 250k pots are preferred for single-coil pickups (like Stratocasters) to reduce high-frequency harshness, while 500k pots are better for humbuckers (like Les Pauls) to maintain brightness and clarity. Using the wrong value can make the guitar sound too dark or too bright.
