Description: The LHZ-B100K custom potentiometers are included with our LHZ-01 and LHZ-02 preamps. These are 100K Linear Taper pots with a center detent that makes it easy to identify where the EQ curve is flat. IMPORTANT: These are replacement Bass and Treble pots only! They do not have the correct specifications to operate as a Volume or Blend control! You can, of course, use any brand of 100K Linear Taper potentiometers with our preamps. However, locating the right potentiometer is more difficult than it seems. Finding 100K potentiometers is easy. Finding Linear Taper instead of the typical Audio Taper narrows down the field significantly, and finding one with a center detent reduces that only a couple choices. Of those, trying to find the perfect M8 thread with 10mm thread length and 18mm shaft is impossible. Non-US Spector basses (eg. Euro, ReBop, NS2A, and others) are manufactured using metric potentiometers. The most significant issue is that the potentiometers holes are a smaller diameter to fit the M8 threads (approximately 5/16" diameter in Imperial dimensions). This makes it impossible to install standard US "guitar" potentiometers using 3/8" threads without body modification. The smaller mounting hole dimensions are also why the original HazLabs preamp cannot be installed into European Spector basses. PERFECT FIT AND FINISH FOR NON-US SPECTOR BASSESThe LHZ-B100K potentiometers are custom manufactured using the specifications from Spector OEM potentiometers shipped with Euro basses featuring the TonePump preamp. Our potentiometers have the same thread diameter, long thread length, and shaft length as the original Spector pots! We chose an ISO certificated manufacturer that supplies major corporations such as Yamaha, Ibanez, GE, Siemens, Panasonic, Peavey, and others to make our LHZ-B100K custom potentiometers. The LHZ-B100K are excellent100k, Linear Taper, Center Detent potentiometers. Fit-and-finish quality exceeded expectations with top-shelf construction, long life, low noise, solid feel (Goldilocks would love it: it's not too stiff, it's not too loose, it's just right!), and a M8 thread diameter that perfectly fits European Spector mounting holes. We feel the LHZ-B100K performance and build quality exceeds the Bourns pots used on earlier LHZ preamps, and are proud to offer these as the default option on all LHZ preamps. WHAT YOU RECEIVE The selling price is for a set of two potentiometers including flat washers and nut. WAIT! I CAN GET GET A SIMILAR POT CHEAPER FROM ANOTHER SOURCE!Maybe you can. You can certainly find pots with some some (but not all) specs for a cheaper price from an authorized distributor or a global industrial electronics supplier. But, when you factor in the minimum purchase limits and your time, is it worth it just for two pots? Probably not. We are only offering these because over half of our clients contact us in frustration trying to find pots, so it just makes sense to offer some of our stock for sale. Yes, we're making a profit on them: it might even be enough to buy us a small plain coffee at Starbucks. But we're still cheaper than Guitar Center, and you will know without a doubt that it'll work in your Spector.
