HI,
right in the middle of putting a guitar together, I'm sick of tight pots, like you are, and as I got ready to solder the 500K pots I use on everything, I found what can only be a Bourns pot. I know where it might have come, doesn't matter. It has a big B on the bottom with small numbers on the bottom 11 45 or 11 46, not sure. writing on the top face of the pot looking down the shaft says 10A500K. and it spins like a top. Is this a real good pot. top end like gibson 500k? nice and top end. will be used as is, no tone pot. any reason the gibson would be better sounding?
I shoulda looked into this earlier, i'm sorry. really. so, should I go with it. it'll be on a strat with a bridge humbucker, SH-2, 7.7K jazz pick up to be close to the other pickups in tone and volume. must be h-bucker.
got a stack S-4 bridge, fender 57/62 middle. the bridge WAS an S. Lover w/A5 mag but too much for the rest of the guitar. i am confident this will be an all round great instrument after years of reading the forum and trying things on my own. eager to go forward but need to know about this pot I have.
I trust you guys most. sorry long post. give full story so no need for questions
so what do you say besides shorten the post?
