Just wanted to share a great find, and do a quick product review, with the TB community. Last week I was frantically searching the net for all-rubber knobs that had a set screw for 6mm smooth-shaft pots. And couldn't find anything on ebay or any of the on-line parts stores. But, I did run across these . . . Knobeez rubber guitar knobs. Found them on ebay.
Anyway, I emailed them asking if they'd stay in place without spinning or falling off the smooth-shafts . . . the reply was that they would work fine. So, I ordered a set with the hopes that was the case.
Anyway, they work great!! Just made sure the shafts were clean and oil free and pressed them into place . . . just that simple. They will spin a little if you turn hard past 0 or 100% on the pots, but your turning way too hard for it to ever occur during normal/proper use. Also, my Vol. pot is push/pull for active/passive and they easily stay in place there too . . . you'd have to pull up pretty hard to pop them off.
I think they look and feel great also. I got black, but they come in red, purple, blue and two shades of white too. And they're pretty affordable. Check 'em out if your looking for new knobs for your bass.
Just a heads-up: I am in no way associated with the company/manufacturer. Just a satisfied consumer posting a hopefully informative review of these cool new knobs. (although I did copy and paste the pic below from ebay into my photobucket . . . hope that's ok)
