EHX BMS replacement sliders

Post by Somnambulance »

I have an EHX Bass Micro Synth that I bought thinking it would be easy to get repaired by them. I was sadly mistaken.

Does anyone know where to get replacement sliders for the XO model of the BMS?

I don't know what values they use, but this might work.

Call them up. I called them when I had questions about my super ego and they were really nice. offered to repair/recondition it for $25. When I inquired about my old queen fuzz/wah they gave me the number of someone who works on their older stuff.

if all you need is new tips? ask Steve @ Smallbear, if the 5k's are the same brand and size, i think you can rebuild your 100k's with those 5k's.

Dr. Scruffie has a hangover, shhh.

But he suggests you contact EHX who should put you in contact with a repair center from whom you can purchase the correct sliders, they're custom order from Alpha I think so finding them elsewhere might be a struggle and minimum order direct is like 1000 pieces or something.

EHX told me to send it to main drag music but their electronics guy is in Japan for a month and has a huge back log anyway.

Smallbear electronics is helping me out though, should have the sliders soon. Smallbear electronics is amazing.

It's alright, lots of people call me Scruffy too so i'll let it slide... this time... :p

Smallbear is awesome though, glad Steve could come through for you. Usually though if you contact EHX they can put you through to a repair center where you can buy replacement parts, perhaps that's only if you contact them through the forum though (where replies can be slow or non-existent). Anyway, last time I did that they wanted an obscene amount for a single pot (it was either 13 euros or 30... both ridiculous prices) but that may have changed now or vary depending on country.
