Where to find Plastic Concentric/Stacked knobs?

ubado · #1 11-13-2010, 07:13 PM

I'm trying to find a place where I can find plastic concentric knobs. All I can find are metal ones (and I don't want to change out all of my knobs because of it. and I really like the stock knobs on my Elrick).

I'm looking for the typical Bartolini style concentric/stacked knob set ... like the on my bass below (not the bass I'm needing it for

)

I'm going to do a WTB thread, but I don't have much luck with those.

Thanks ahead of time.

I've seen plastic ones on Mouser, but don't think they match that style, and don't know what type/size shaft you've got (that sounds kinda wrong...).

I'm not sure if EMG sells just the knobs. I used to have an EMG stacked set ... but they are long gone.

I think I'll try to call Bartolini tomorrow ... perhaps they know who might have them (or by the off, chance they might)

I just can't believe it's this hard to find plastic ones ... metal, sure ... just no plastic.

Thanks everyone for the suggestions.

Good luck on that calling Bartolini customer service idea! Let us know how that goes!

Eeeh, if I end up installing this NTBT preamp in my GWB35, I'll sell you the plastic stack knobs cheap. But I might not install it, so didn't want to get your hopes up by mentioning it before.

Hey thanks for that!

... some light at the end of the tunnel is better than knowing it's boarded up.

As far as calling Bart ... it's a shot in the dark.

I made a WTB thread ... but I generally don't have too much luck with those.

I have the EMG ones if you want them - I'll never use them. I'll send them to you, free of charge. PM me your address.

I think you need to check with luthiers. I know that those came with Barts on most M Tobias basses but once got help from Rudy's Music Stop for a set too.
Could't find anywhere else so far.
