Gear used:

Guitar: 335 copy. Bridge PU
Amp: 1970's Fender Bassman Ten

Feedback from you guys would be greatly appreciated.

I think it sounds pretty nice. It does the whacka-whacka thing well, too.  :icon_cool:

I think the Hot Potz sounds fine. Everyone seems to think that they have to be replaced.  ??? Not me, they sound fine as far as I'm concerned, and they'll last a hell of a lot longer than any other pot will.

True. The pot here has started to show some scratchiness, particularly near the toe end of the sweep. I'll probably get the hotpotz 2 when it renders itself unusable. :)
