Seriously you cannot lose with them. I mean look at this for God's sake.

I've had to order fabricated ones before and it takes longer, but they are sooooooooooooo fucking nice. It's a place that you could easily drop a ton of cash on knobs.

I'm quite the knob whore myself so it's cool to see I'm not the only one.

I have a box of a 1000 knobs currently that all have to be used with a hex screw. They look like these http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/3220590186 ... noapp=true

I bought them from Peter at VFE. He sold me the whole box (unopened) for a hundred box. LOL!

I had a bunch of random knobs too, but I ended up gifting them to Skully so he could put them to better use.

Never realized it, but I had quite a knob collection. Maybe it's time to start fresh. I really, really want some vintage ones.

About a year ago I bought a bunch of knobs at my local Radio Shack. They had a good selection and their prices were fine. Got a pack of about 1 trillion batteries while I was there, also. You can never have too many batteries!

This thread is relevant to my interests.

When I get some money that I don't first burn on fuzz* I'm totally going to go nuts on the knob upgrade front.



*may never actually happen.

I just bought a ton of knobs from BLMS last month. They were mostly the small fluted ones, but I got a few others too. I reknobbed my Ct5 (rainbow'd), Pretty Years (bottom 6 knobs are 2x pink, 2x clear, 2x white, so the pink knobs are over the white triangle and the white knobs are over the pink triangle), my Supermoon Chrome (nice clear knobs that look great w the chrome), and my Jag. Still have a ton left over for future reknobbing.

Also I found these beauties on Reverb:

If only they weren't $80 each :facepalm:

You can save yourself some money by buying some clear knobs from somethere and painting the bottom/inside with nail polish or something, because that is what that guy is doing.

:wha?: you don't say?? Well then, looks like I might be doing just that! You can take them apart easily, yeah?
