| | | | Tone Knob Fell Off My Bass
Sign in to disble this ad
Ok so I was playing my Laguna LB224 and it seemed like the tone knob was really loose as I was fiddling with it. I usually dont touch it so I dont know how it happened, but it ended up falling off. I've seen other forums say just tighten the screw however...there is no screw on these particular knobs. Its a metallic looking knob with a rounded off top that just has a small black circle on the side where I think the screw would have gone on a normal knob. I know a screw hasnt fallen out too because the volume knob works fine and it looks the exact same. I cant even stand up to play anymore because it keeps falling off. Any help would be appreciated. |

However, there are always missing knobs due to theft every month or so. It's not limited to Guitar Center or Laguna Guitars... I'm not trying to promote GC or Laguna either... in fact, they are my competitors. |
