Fender Rumble Club

@RyanKinBK

After exhaustive research that involved entire minutes of reading, I found a source for the concert shirt thing. As a bonus, the "Don't be that guy" thing is thrown in for free. A 1994 joint called PCU helped crystalize the notion. I'm guilty 100 times over so whatever.


It's been amended, though. If you bought a shirt at a show and you're wearing it on top of your shirt that you came to the show in, it's OK.

In all fairness, Jeremy Piven is the epitome of "that guy" in every role I have seen him in. Even when he is talking about other people being "that guy".

And def leppard was not the only band known for wearing their own shirts, Iron Maiden comes to mind, and Geddy Lee has been caught too.

The guy saying " don't be that guy" is usually "that guy" in several ways aside from the way he is referring to.

"Can you blow me where the pampers is?"

An "unwritten rule" has been amended. GOTTALUVIT! During my grueling minutes of research, I came across several self-serving lists of "rules" for concert going. IMHO, the first and only rule as that there are no rules other than the golden rule - Be kind to one another. On that note, I believe that I will sit back and hopefully let this drift back towards our favorite amplifiers.
 
Somewhere, out there, a really good interior decorator proved their mettle. Bar of DOOM, I tells ya!

I have decided I don't like the white knobs. With the D pots, what are my options?
I saw Kevins1701's 'blackfacing', but I'm not concerned with neccesarily keeping the 100% Fender aesthetic (the plastic logo is now residing on my fridge).

Is there a way to make standard set-screw types work?

I like the ones on old Kustoms, and something all brushed aluminum would look cool.

...I have an old MusicMan badge off a cab I thought about putting on the front to confuse anybody paying attention.

Aside from the defaults from Fender, 1/4" shaft knobs are pretty common. Let me google that for you.

I hope all you Rumble Cats are ready for your NYE gigs as applicable. Stay safe though I'm not promoting sanity at this point in time so go crazy --in moderation. I'm going to load the ride, double check everything and then rock across the timezones as 2K17 makes its way to a private party near me. So long '16; I'll see you on the other side!
 
Happy New Year to you Rumblers! Especially to @Linnin :D Just 6 months or so ago, you and we didn't know if you would make it here. Now we expect you to make it for a long time. That's a great xmas gift to all of us! HAPPY NEW YEAR SIR BRO. LINNIN!!!!!!

They are press on D pots, set screws won't work.
Find longer set screws and tighten on the flat for the best of both worlds. Otherwise, the setscrew that came with the replacement is good off the flat. That is as long as the replacement knob is for the same size shaft. Of course, @mpoppitt you might know something about these things that I don't!
