Talkbass to the rescue!

My lil' Pepper thought my Bossa bass knobs were chew toys so she went to town on one of them while it was on a stand. I could have wrung her neck but look at that face!!! She never touches my Stingray so she caught me off guard with this one. I guess chrome isn't as tasty.

Any how, rather than spend all night looking for these, does anyone know where I may be able to get these? I thought you all might know before I try and get them from Bossa. I wouldn't mind buying a bunch of them because the tops of these things actually pop out rather easily.

Everything works...she just bit the top off of the bass pot. She's come a long way but let me tell you, these Miniature Pinschers are more than a handful.


A good one on the left and the one she chewed on the right (I was able to put the top back on)


A sample of what it looks like with the top off


Pepper!

Hi.

I could well be totally off, but to me that looks like one of the standard knobs that RS sells.

Cute dog.
My ex gierlfriends two miniature schnauzers did leave my instruments alone, but the younger one did like reading... a lot .

Regards
Sam

I see, thanks.

Yes, the knob that RS sells looks VERY close but judging from the picture alone it's not an exact match. My knob caps do not have that white dot on top.

You might want to contact Bossa USA. They're very helpful.

Oh thanks, I actually already shot an e-mail to Hussain. Sometimes he's on tour and all that but he always gets back to me.

You know how it is - I want to fix it right now!

I'd toss on a temporary until I heard from Bossa. Were it me reading your request, I'd send you a complete replacement set just for the cute story

Well, I know Hussain is a big dog lover so I'll keep my fingers crossed!
