Replacing EMG volume pot
Replacing EMG volume pot
Definitely sounds like a problem with the potentiometer.
You're supposed to use audio taper for volume and linear taper for tone. That is where A500K/B500K come in. I looked at my EMG pots and even though they come labeled with V/T they are all A25k ohm pots.
BTW. Ask the guy in the repair/setup dept. of your local music store if he has any EMG 25k pots left over from installs. I got some for free before I sold my EMGs.
Thnx all for the information, gonna go out today to buy a pot. Hope they even have one somewhere around here. |I

We have only 1 decent guitar shop in town and it's new. Don't even think he did any work on any guitar yet so I don't think I'll have any luck scoring free pots. :lol
Edit: It's even worse than i thought, I went around today to see whether I could get pots anywhere and I couldn't find any pots in this godforsaken town. Now I have to go to another town or order them online.
I was just googling "audio taper emg" and ended up right here. I was looking if I could use my B500K volume pot for the EMG's volume. I suggest I found the answer right in this thread. Many thanks.
Just a side question how would I remove the nut that holds my pot in place? It is very small and not regular wrench or socket could fit it.
The pot for an EMG is 25k, not 250k..
