I saw someone on here sell 2 like, '59 tele knobs for 100 bucks or something and thought it was ridiculous. That 59 dollar knob is ridiculous.

I thought the $21.89 for 4 knobs was a bit much

It's a sad day when someone is forced to sell their knob to pay the rent...

Those are special knobs with a different geometry, for those pots that go to eleven. Those are super rare.

Like the non-Euclidean kind of geometry? The kind that extends into the seventh dimension?

I wonder if they'd toss in the second one free *if you paid the additional shipping and handling?

I especially like the way he's summarized what the auction is all about:

1 Buy It Now = 1 knob.

This guy is well known and a constant source of amusement on UK bass forums. He lists horribly butchered basses at crazy prices.

He also gets extemely rude and abusive if anyone dares question his integrity.

I wonder if Tune-O-Matic has a German cousin.
