Peavey Cirrus Parts

[sirpug]

Hi all, just lost the pickup blend pot on my Peavey Cirrus 5 and and learned that Peavey is no longer supporting their basses. I saw the preamp listed in the classifieds and sent a PM but, if it's no longer available, does anyone here have a part number or recommendation for a replacement part?

Peavey used weird "spider" pots on those preamps if I recall. They're out there as spare parts if you google "peavey spider pot" and the value you need. Though if I were trying to repair one I'd probably try to just use a normal mini pot and solid wire jumpers to the pcb in place of the spider leg terminals.

Thanks dwizum!!

I found this potentiometer and it's the only one that was listed as having a center detent so I'm thinking it's the one I need. However I haven't been able to verify the resistance value I need for the blend pot. Is anyone able to confirm if it is in fact 50K?

Might be able to see markings on your current pot to indicate the value. Or test it with a meter?

Good idea, I just won't be able to check until this weekend. If I can find the info somewhere then I can order it without having to wait. I'm just being impatient. LOL
