Title: Replacement volume pot for P-Bass Activators
Post by: Aaron on July 17, 2025, 12:02:04 AM

My volume pot needs to be replaced for my p-bass preamp. I'm not sure what value it needs to be.

I found these that I think might work, a 50k with a metal shaft and 100k with plastic shaft.

The volume pot is 10K audio taper. You can purchase replacements from us by phone or email - just email me mica@alembic.com

Have you owned these since 1991?

Email sent - I picked them up 2nd hand a few years ago. In case you're not familiar with the following issues, I had used the now non-functional service form on the website and emailed help@alembic.com, but got no replies. In case help@alembic.com is still not functional, it should probably be removed from http://www.alembic.com/family/contact.html .
