Separate/related issue - my 390 brings in the volume toward the end of sweep, while you mentioned that Fender's linear amp pots bring the volume in hard near the front of the sweep to make the amp seem like it's got more on tap later. Are those two examples of two linear pots with different "tapers"?

I'm keen on this issue because I'm thinking of replacing the 390s volume pots and only want to do that job once! Thanks Bob
It could also be the difference between the pickups at one end and the tone pots at the other.
