    Vol Pot for MIM Jazz Bass?

    My brother has a MIM fretless Jazz Bass and he is complaining how the volume pot does not increase evenly in volume. Can someone please tell me what the best volume pot is that will have an even taper for a Jazz bass?

    I know some people obsess about this - I just settled on the fact that most of them go up gradually from 0-about 7-8 and then the last 20% or so is where the magic is.

    So, I guess the question becomes, changing the stock pot's to CTS or something else will or won't make a difference over this issue ?

    I think the stock pots are CTS (the used to be). If he doesn't like the taper he could try one with a different taper like an RS Guitarworks Superpot.
