Perfect for bass guitar upgrades

Used the copper shaft version for my Jazz Bass. The build quality is outstanding, and the tone control is much more responsive now. Highly recommend for any serious player.

Smooth operation and great feel

Installed these on my Stratocaster and the difference is night and day. The rotation is incredibly smooth without any scratchiness. Definitely worth the upgrade from stock pots.

Great quality, tight fit

These are genuine USA-made CTS pots. They fit a bit tighter than imported versions, which is actually a good sign of quality, but make sure you have the right reamer if your holes are small.

Solid upgrade for the price

Good value for money. The shaft length was perfect for my Les Paul copy. Installation was straightforward, and the guitar feels more premium now.

Professional grade components

As a luthier, I only use CTS pots for my custom builds. These arrive well-packaged and perform exactly as expected. The taper is consistent across the entire range.

No more crackling sounds

My old volume knob was crackling every time I turned it. Replaced it with this aluminum shaft model and the noise is completely gone. Very satisfied with the purchase.

5 FAQ

Q: Do these come with nuts and washers?

A: Yes, each potentiometer comes equipped with a mounting nut, washer, and lock washer to ensure a secure installation in your instrument.

Q: What is the difference between the copper and aluminum shafts?

A: The primary difference is aesthetic and slight weight variation. Both offer the same electrical performance and durability. Choose based on which looks better with your hardware.

Q: Can I use these for both volume and tone controls?

A: Absolutely. You can select the appropriate resistance value (250k for single coils, 500k for humbuckers) and use them for either volume or tone functions.

Q: Are these pots suitable for active electronics?

A: These are passive potentiometers designed for standard passive pickup systems. For active electronics, you typically need specific low-value pots or none at all, depending on your preamp setup.

Q: Is the shaft split or solid?

A: These feature a standard split shaft design, which is compatible with most push-on knobs used on Fender and similar style guitars. Adapters are available if you need to fit solid shaft knobs.
