Excellent pots.
TERD 02.03.2023
I got these pots because for some reason nearly all solid shaft 250k pots I find tend to measure slightly below 250k. Even the more expensive ones from CTS with tighter tolerances. So I figured it was time to try a different type.

I was happy to find that these pots were consistently slightly below 270k, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

The 30% taper... I think I prefer classic log/audio taper to be honest but it's close enough for my needs.

when ordering make sure the shaft is not too big for the whole on your guitar

Smooth, precise control
FirasR 05.07.2026
I installed these on my Sire Marcus Miller P5R Precision Bass as part of a complete electronics upgrade.

The Vintage Audio Taper is the standout feature. The controls feel much smoother and more progressive than the stock pots, making it much easier to dial in exactly the amount of volume or tone I want.

A simple upgrade that noticeably improved the feel of the controls. I’d happily use these again.
