Question:

I need the right inductor to put into a bass?

I am currently modifying my friend's bass. He already has a .1uF cap in it and I am planing on putting an inductor for quick tone switching into the mix with a simple SPDT switch. Now from doing the calculations I came out with a 625mH Inductor, but I don't know if this is right or if they even make them. Again, I need it to match a .1uF cap across a 250Kohm variable resistor.

Answer:

I have no idea what calculations you did, what frequency you picked, or what the circuit is. 625mH is quite a large inductor. The only ones in that range are power supply chokes, and their inductance varies with current. edit: The circuit is basically a simple RC and RL circuits there is a pot that has a max of 250Kohms and the current cap is .1uF now I'm trying to find the matching inductor that will have the same (t) response as the cap with the pot being placed at 250Kohms. and the answer seemed odd, that's why I asked. 250k and 0.1?F is a 25mS time constant (t RC) 25ms L/250k (t L/R) L 6250 Henries, an unrealizable value. So your calculations are flawed. .
