I recently aquired a Blues deville '212' (not the reissue). So make a longstory short. When I bought it, the volume control for the clean channel was loose. So my singer had the bright idea of pulling it out and trying to fix it. but he did not know you had the loosen the knob to get it off. so the volume pot is broken. my local music shop would fix it for cheap, but they have to send it off and it will take 3-5 weeks till i get it back. And i need it back within a week...so i'd like to try to do it myself. but before i go dismantling it. How exactly would i fix it/ what do i need to buy? I've been using marshall JCM's for the past while so im new to fenders. Any tips would be great. thanks

Try here. http://www.darrenriley.com/FenderAmpParts.htm

I'd call them just to be sure. Here's more repair information.

Welcome :)

Problem is there might also be a damaged PCB, the pots are soldered directly to the circuit board on these amps. As are the instrument jacks, not difficult to give one a hard yank and rip it off its solder joints. if you are not careful.

I hope that's not the problem. The pots themselves are pretty fragile too. If the shaft broke off hopefully it's just the pot. Be careful when you de-solder the old one so you don't lift the traces off the board otherwise it's jumper city.
