LIESSSSS THEY LIED TO ME!!!!

You play w/knobs

 

[M.R. Ogle]

I'm surprised that they don't fit.
I've bought Tele dome-tops and fit them on just about ANY bass with standard 1/4" shafts on the pots... I've even put the set-screw knobs on split-shaft pots (carefully).

Besiides, if a music store was going to set out to defraud someone, they'd surely not burn the Karma-candle on a set of ten-dollar knobs.

 

[vicvarado]

Sometimes the most obvious question has to be asked...
Did you loosen the set-screw before trying to put them on?

 

[M.R. Ogle]

 

[MovingPitchers]

Yeah I did. Even removed them completely.

 

[MovingPitchers]

I think I'll let them know the whole story. There is a good chance they'll just say sorry and give me the proper ones. No questions asked

 

[starmann]

Just as an FYI...Tele knobs and P bass knobs, ARE THE SAME...You have something else going on.

Good Luck with a resolution.

 

[MovingPitchers]

Well like I said. I checked allparts and they assiduous there's a pair of chrome knobs with smaller pot holes and dome tops. And there's another pair with flat tops and larger pot holes

Let me rephrase, I can vouch that the "non" chrome dome, rather the flat ones, DO FIT both, pending the controls are original parts.

Also, where your parts labeled Genuine Fender?

 

[lowendmafia]

Wow... I was expecting something much more interesting... :scowl:

 

[MegaSwing]

There are weird variations in knobs. I bought some used abalone-capped knobs not long ago, to customize a piece, and the bastards didn't fit the shaft. Knowing the diameter and length of the shaft is your only assurance that what you buy will do the job.

 

[Jookbox]

Were the knobs at least polished?

Were the knobs at least polished?

Ask the clerk for some knob polish. It's the least they can do since it was their error.

 

[irvinz]

Nah. I think the knobs are fine. You have the wrong pots installed. Probably cough up some dough and get proper pots?

 

[carl h.]

Make sure you ask for the polish for bigger knobs. Don't want to have to go back...

 

[Sheffield]

L&M has a 30-day, full refund policy on everything. No questions asked.

It's basically my gear library as a result. "Hmm, perhaps I will try an Empress Multidrive today ..."

[Biggbass]

Probably not a lie but ignorance on the part of the employee.
take it back. $10 bucks is nothing to them compared to losing a customer for life.

the plastic V & T knobs on my Chevy truck radio broke and I replaced them both
with Tele knobs. Just a thought in case you get stuck with them.

But you could also drill the holes out a bit to fit the Ps shaft diameter, pretty easy.

 

[Munjibunga]

If you asked for them, they gave you what you asked for, and you opened them, then you were in the wrong, it's your bad, and you're out of luck if they don't take returns on opened packages.

If their employee said "these will fit" and they don't, then it doesn't matter that you opened the package. You were sold the proverbial "bill of goods." They misrepresented what they were selling you.

Just make sure you really know what happened.

Ever hear of the "implied warranty of merchantability"? The product was not merchantable for its intended purpose and the employee misrepresented the product. A short discussion with a manager should resolve the issue.

Uhm.... the OP started a tantrum thread over $10.


And it's now at 2 pages....
