Help! Need help. Sterling bass pot 50kOhm

[kopievsky]

Hello everyone.
I have a problem with bass pot on my MM Sterling. It works improperly and it does not have "center click". So I`d like to replace it with new one.
And there is a problem...where can I buy it??? (50kOhm, non-linear, whith center klick)
P.S. I live in Ukraine.

You may find this is caused by the knob not being fitted correctly - I created this exact problem when I put a replacement pg on my SR5. In my case it was just a case of loosening the hex nut, lifting the knob a little and re-fixing the hex screw - mine then worked correctly. It's worth a try (or take it to a repair shop to do it)!

Thanks for advice, but problem is much deeper than it looks at first sight.
Bass pot worked not properly and it displayed on sound overall.
I disassembled preamp and found that bass knob is glued to pot with super glue.... it is impossible to take off knob from rod (surprise from previous owner) and as a effect it is impossible to take off pot without drilling or damaging knob.
Bass pot should be replaced anyway.
I have non-original pot without center click, but I would like to install original one.

Just so you know, if you want to fool around with it and you are sure it was super glue. Acetone breaks down super glue. Just be careful, will wreck finish on bass and is highly flammable!

But still that is only half of a problem....solvable problem.

I don`t know where I can buy NEW bass pot...
Is there any suggestions?
