Replacement POT for Fender Bassman 50 Master Volume Control?

Post by Nick Higbee »

Hello Everyone,

I'm new to this whole thing, so apologies for any forthcoming ignorance.

I broke off the master volume knob on my silverface bassman 50 head in transit. I need to order a POT and was wondering which one I should buy.

Thanks in advance,

Nick

Likely it's a 1M audio taper. 3/8" bushing. CTS or Alpha will work. Be sure you know what you're doing before you go poking around in there.

Awesome, thank you!

I won't be touching this thing! Thanks. I have a buddy who is an EE and I'm just tasked with ordering and paying for my own parts.

I appreciate it.

I might have an exact CTS Fender 70's replacement if you want to keep it stock and I will give it to you. Have your friend remove it and then you can send me the part number to verify.
