Hi Everyone,
I'm working on my first CBG. I'm going with a 3 string , no frets. How important is it to include a volume pot to this CBG ?
I'm not an electronics guy so this is all new to me
Any thoughts would be appreciated
Thanks Vince

i've bought a bunch of 10k pots for a few pence each -they work great with piezo discs, prob no use with mag pup but nice to be able to turn down,or up on board...imo
Some buyers do appreciate having the controls on-board. I personally think that they are a waste of circuitry and add an element of resistance that yields moderate benefit. But I do add pots pretty often, so what do I know?
Big thank you all for the help ! Much appreciated.
Moving on fearlessly to the soldering iron and jack ............. having fun here guys, that's the idea right ? -:))
Fun is what it's really all about; everything else is just noise.
You nailed it Oily! If it ain't fun, DON"T DO IT!!!!
not important at all . leave it out and you will have less ground issues etc ,
wire straight to jack it should be fine . even sound a bit hotter . your amp has a volume control , hence you don't "need" it if you are using it at home etc .
for stage use ,, there are also pedals etc .. to get around no volume control .
you should be ok for not having to ground it without a pot too .
as an option , you can also buy pre-wired sets with vol/tone controls .
gitty sells them here .
i don't put controls in my swamp witches . ;-)
I bought 2 of those pre-wired jobbies and won't do it again. One had a broken lead on the pup and the other had a broken lead on the jack. Thank you, but I'll just omit the pots. Everyone knows when you leave the pot off, it is hard-wired to 11.
YEAHHH!!!!! Not pot equals SUPER_HOT!!!!!
