What's up my fellow gear snobs! Long time since I've posted something here.
I've been bitten by the bass bug again after not playing bass for many years, and I've acquired myself a Sire Marcus Miller V7 gen 2. It's a great bass and it sounds amazing, but I'm a bit worried about the pots, they feel a bit cheap, or at the least fragile. The resistance I get when turning the stacked volume/tone pot is underwhelming to say the least. The other pots feel fine for now, but since they're of the same descend I feel like I should replace everything if I'm gonna do it anyway.
My question would be:
Is it worth it to replace one or more of the pots of that bass, or am I just being paranoid and they'll probably be fine? The preamp is not a PCB and is just a block of magic in the control cavity, so it does use separate pots.
Thanks!
