Description
If you’re wiring up a Bartolini TCT-style active preamp, this is the exact pot Bartolini spec’d for the job. The CD500KA is a 500K-ohm potentiometer with an audio taper, but the feature that sets it apart is the center detent — a physical, felt click right at the pot’s midpoint (flat/zero position).
- 500K-ohm audio taper
- Center detent for tactile zero-point reference
- 3/8″ brass bushing
- Knurled shaft
- Designed for Bass or Treble controls in the TCT family
For bass and treble cut/boost controls, that detent is more than a nice-to-have — it lets you find flat by feel, without staring at the knob or second-guessing where neutral sits mid-gig. The brass bushing gives you a solid, wobble-free mount through your control cavity, and the knurled shaft grips your knob securely so it won’t slip loose from vibration or repeated use.
This pot is built specifically to slot into Bartolini’s TCT preamp architecture, so if you’re repairing, upgrading, or building out a bass with active TCT electronics, this is the correct part rather than a generic substitute. Solid, purpose-made, and ready to install for players and techs who want their tone controls to behave predictably.
