Author Topic: Pots with centre clicky bit (Read 3129 times)

I've decided, due to having a lot of free time at the moment to fix up an old Maison 5 string bass I have. It's active & has some pots that kinda click in to position at half way around. Does anyone know what this are called so I know what I'm looking for so I can buy some new ones.

Cheers,

Simon

Well in ye olde days they where known as "Centre Indented" but the way everything has been americanised over the last 15 years it could be called "spacially clickerised" or anything these days ;)

Fender seem to use the phrase 'Detented' for their TBX pots (which is close enough to the what I can tolerate)

and possibly this for the other controls:

You will need to check the values on the pots that are already in there before buying anything

Cheers matey. They look like the things I'm after. I'll just have to find where the value is stamped on them.

They might have to wait a few weeks though... as it's pay day today & I'm itching to get a MM for my guitar. :D
