Good mini-pot, small and short shaft, but works well.

Music Maven 08.07.2019

This is a good quality mini-pot. I purchased this as a replacement for a Harley Benton guitar; it's NOT the same that was in the guitar despite being a Harley Benton product! This is a very small pot! However, as the base is smaller, it's easier to solder as it get's hot more quickly! The full-size units need a more powerful soldering iron. It turns smoothly and functions well. Important: The neck of the shaft is quite short, and it *just* poked through the guitar's top, with enough thread to just get the nut on. If you've got a guitar with a carved or thick top, you'll need a longer shaft for sure. For scratch-plate mounting it should be fine. TIP: You should only ever use "A" log pots for volume & tone, unless you've a vintage "B" linear pot to replace. They just don't work as well. "C" pots are for left-handed players.

Trouble-free

Benjamin I. 14.07.2020

My Stagg bass had two broken pots, this one is the replacement for the tone setting. Not much to say, it makes no mechanical or electronic noise, turns very smoothly and the nut and washer assembly is quite firm. The older potentiometer broke when I tightened it moderately, but this one is built tough and accepts being tightened strong without issues.

I suspect my soldering iron is getting old, and doesn't heat up as much as it used too, but the solder flew well and adheres to the tin-plated rings, no problem here.

I noticed no change relative to the older pot except this one is slicker when it turns. Very cheap but very good so I recommend it.

Rating well deserved

I picked this Harley Benton 500k Potentiometer to use in my second guitar - cheap-ish strat knockoff. At least it was. Now it has custom painting, reworked wiring, added shielding and a paint job. So choosing this pot is consistent with staying cheap but with a flavour.

Schema on product page was very detailed with all the measurements, so I was sure that it will fit my guitar - no surprises fitting it on pickguard, soldering wiring and refitting cap.

Pot itself has smooth action, absolutely no scratchiness can be heard when turning - I use it for volume.

Build quality is also commendable. Body is smooth, no rough edges.

The only negative is psychological - its cheap - probably would not stick into my primary guitar, but for secondary - a no brainer.

Works for my Ibanez

It does work perfectly. Only problem was.that it's a little too short for my Ibanez guitar but luckily I could fit it.
