AlphaFull Metric Size A500K Guitar Pots Audio Taper Split Shaft Potentiometers for Electric Guitar/Bass(Set of 4)

Bought these to replace an A500k in my Ibanez Mikro Bass on the Tone Control. I had to solder on the capacitor which I ordered separately. After resoldering it sounds awesome. There was considerable hum when using the single coil bridge pickup and the new tone control can now eliminate that completely. I am thinking of replacing the volume controls with these as well but my volume controls are mini pots and not the regular size. They still might fit but it will be tight.

These arrived well packed and in new condition, which is as expected but not always the case these days. The pots were smooth and measured to spec unlike the Alpha minis they replaced (which came in a bass guitar and were unusually poor quality).I installed them and they feel fantastic, and the full size means they should last -- no complaints!

Alpha are decent pots. Installed them in at least 100 guitars, I lost track many years ago. CTS are better built, but I’ve never had a failure in the last 20 years.. I take that back. One failed. Plus these have some friction when you turn them. So they don’t move unless you mean to turn them.

Whatever your need, you can't go wrong with Alpha potentiometer's. These particular pots went into a guitar effects pedal I built on stripboard. The pots measured within 1 or 2 ohms of the stated resistance. I've bought a lot of different pots from a variety of manufacturers over the years, and I can tell you when I open up an effects pedal or a guitar and see the name Alpha, I know it's going to work the way it's supposed to. A lot of people say pots are pots. My ears would beg to differ, and given the choice, I'll buy Alpha every time.

I bought these when a set of Bourn branded pots I bought from Digikey turned out to be 13 years old (2007 manufacture date code), and too scratchy to use.These work much better in the custom guitar combo amp I made for my daughter.

Log pots, wonderful job replacing the old linear volume pots in my korean/japanese L6 clone. Everything sounds great, they spin easily, and they take the old knobs without any issues.On tone side, though, the first quarter turn does basically nothing, the next quarter is a nice range of sounds, and then the whole bottom half is kinda dead. Maybe try two of these A500 pots for volume and pick up some B500s for your tone knobs.

They work, but closer to an on/off switch than smooth taper. I got this so I could use the factory knobs on an import guitar. CTS has much better taper and feels smoother when turning. These work though.

Good quality pots at a reasonable price. Alpha pots are used by lots of major manufacturers on their guitars. CTS are about 25% more, but I haven’t experienced that to translate to a better product.

Muy buen producto,en mi parecer ,lo mejor en lo que ofertais que conozco. En varios proyectos
