General

Are you bothered by cracking noises when you adjust the volume or tone on your electric (bass) guitar? It may indicate that your potentiometer needs replacing. Luckily, Alpha offers an excellent, affordable replacement part in the form of the ALP500-B38. With a 500k, linear taper, it is the perfect tone control for guitars with high-output pickups. The short shaft is great for guitars with a pickguard. You can easily mount control knobs with a screw on the potentiometer's solid shaft.

Alpha ALP500-B38 500K linear potentiometer (short shaft)

Wrote the following about Alpha ALP500-B38 500K linear potentiometer (short shaft)
Ik heb het niet gebruikt voor een audio toepassing maar om een toerenteller mee te ijken. Dat werkte overigens perfect.

Wat ik wel kan vertellen is dat het degelijk aan voelt. De draaiknop voelt ook zeer solide aan met draaien. Verder is t wat het is.... een potmeter...
