ToneMonkey Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I've finally got round to dorting out the Firebird I was given and I've ordered a couple of mini HB's for it. They rated at about 8.6kOhm. Which pots would you recommend, 250k or 500k? Also, they have to be mini pots for the teeny weeny control cavity. Cheers dudes, also bought some Steinberger Gearless Tuners so I'll let you all know how they go. Infact if you get on ebay I got some brand new black ones from the states for £34 ish including postage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanthus Posted April 3, 2008 Report Share Posted April 3, 2008 I'd go with 500k. A humbucker is still a humbucker, even if it's mini, that's my logic. ::EDIT:: As far as ratings, there are plenty of fullsize hums with the same numbers too. The Dimarzios I got for my newest project are at 8.4, par example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j. pierce Posted April 4, 2008 Report Share Posted April 4, 2008 I use firebird p'ups a lot, and I've always used 500k with them. Like Xanthus said, a humbucker's a humbucker. They're brighter than normal 'buckers, but I like to keep 'em that way too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
