Fender 250K Pickup Pan Pot Deluxe Basses

Centre-Detent Blend Pot for Deluxe Fender Bass Pickup Control

The Fender 250K Pickup Pan Pot for Deluxe Basses is a replacement potentiometer for compatible Fender bass electronics. It is designed for middle and bridge pickup blend control on Deluxe Series Mexico and American Deluxe Series US basses manufactured from 1997 onward.

This 250K potentiometer has a 9.5 mm (3/8”) solid shaft with centre detent, giving the control a clear middle position when balancing pickup signals. The solid shaft design accepts set screw mounting knobs and will not suit push-on knob applications unless the knob type is changed to match.

Mounting hardware is not included, so suitable existing hardware will need to be reused or sourced separately.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think this pan pot is best for players and repairers replacing a worn blend control on a compatible Deluxe or American Deluxe Fender bass while keeping the correct centre-detented pickup balance function.
