Hi TBP guys,
Per this thread:
http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=470754
I was looking for the stacked knobs to go on my Glock pre, and a customer of yours passed along the info that TPB had named some specific Warmoth part numbers; also per that thread, I bought those parts and they do not fit. Just thought you should know, so that incorrect advice is not given to future customers.

Also, it would be nice if vendors of this pre would also stock the knobs that fit it.

Update: Brandt has been in contact with me and is getting me a set of the Glock knobs, for which I am very grateful.

Turns out what happened was they didn't have the Glock parts and a caliper in hand to take an actual measurement, so they did the math, and the metric sizes of the Glock appeared to match the English sizes of the Warmoth- but as it happens, the Glock pot shafts are actually smaller than their nominal 4 and 6 mm, just enough smaller that the knobs sit crooked.

Anyway, Brandt is fixing me up with the right knobs and now has more accurate info to hand out going forward. :)

Cheers!

Hey bongomania,
I need a set also, should I contact Brandt at TPB or is he going to post the info?
Thanks

I would contact Brandt directly, as the knobs he got me were ordered from Glock, not a substitute. AFAIK nobody in the US carries the Glock (or Warwick, which are apparently the same) knobs yet, but maybe TPB will in the future.

Oh, and I forgot to mention- the new knobs are a perfect fit! Thanks again Brandt!
