Michael_B Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I'd like mod my Tally to have separate vol and tone control for each pickup. Without drilling the top, are dual-concentric pots the best (or only) option? Does anyone have any experience with d-c pots and can share some experiences?
veatch Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I think that would be the only way to go without drilling. This will be fine for bedroom/basement playing, or if you "stand still" on stage, but when moving around, i found the DC pots a little "clumsy". Especially if you do fast volume swells like this guy:
Jeff R Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I vaguely remember Badger Dave did that to add V/T to a one-knob Cali I checked out on a Minnesota visit and he hit a home run doing so. The bottom, bigger of the knobs was the volume and the smaller top rotary was the tone IIRC.
duncans Posted March 25, 2016 Posted March 25, 2016 I wanted to do that with my Eclipse. The pot I bought had a short treaded shaft so it didn't work. I could have remove some wood to make the body mounting hole thinner but didn't like that option. However, it works great on my PRS C22. There aren't a lot of knob options is the downside for me. I have the Fender dual chrome tele type knobs on the PRS, functionally great, adds the Hamer 3 knob control, looks - not my favorite.
Michael_B Posted March 26, 2016 Author Posted March 26, 2016 My take's on the knob aesthetics is the same. There are guys making nice custom wooden knobs for the d-c shafts.
