Push/Push Pots?

I've been searching trying to find out who makes quality push/push pots because it seems most are kinda crappy.

This one from all parts looks alright. Hard to tell, but I usually associate brass with quality. http://www.allparts.com/EP-0283-000-250 ... _1306.html

Neil put a push pull pot in the Kovaa 22 amp he made, so he might know a source.

Do you want the pot for your axe or your amp?

I should have been specific. Didn't realize amps have push/pulls too lol. It's for guitar. But I think I might have found a very reliable person for these :)

push push are much easier to use than push pull (especially the "pull" while playing).
Found some in the past but was not cheap (around 15euro/pce).

I think Yamaha have pretty much always had the copyright / patents / whatever on push - push pots.

Good choice. Jonesy is awesome. I bought a 50's harness, for my Les Paul, from him.

How is it? I'm getting the JP wiring harness. Hoping to make sweet beautiful music with it! Installing it in an LP copy. Getting an Ibanez S570 soon and thinking of having something similar. He wanted me to measure the cavity though to see if it will fit lol.

Wonder if the reason for the higher price on those push - push ones (nearly double the push - pull types there) isn't down to having to pay license to Yamaha? I don't know for sure but I'd suspect so...

The JP harness looks awesome. I would love to try it. I was just looking to get rid of the coil splits on my LP Trad Pro and put in a more vintage style wiring harness. It was great. all wired with pots and caps and ready to drop in. I recommend Jonesy for any Guitar wiring needs.
