Epiphone spares

[munkonthehill]

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knew of a place epiphone bass spares can be bought.

I'm looking for a one of the concentric dials :-/

Steve, I`ve got lots of spare knobs (ooer!) lying about. Can you post a photo of the type you are looking for?

[munkonthehill]

Jezebel :-) how the hell are you mate :-)

It's the specific epiphone concentric with the E on it I'm after

[jezzaboy]

I`m fine thanks Steve. Alas, I don`t have what you are looking for.

There is guitarpartsresource which is a us site, so be weary of postage. They have a bass counter part that has quiet a bit of after market gear, such as knobs etc.

Try a google search.

Nice one Stephen, they have something suitable.

If I can't find the actual part I know I can pickup one that's pretty similar.

Also try AxesRUs: http://www.axesrus.co.uk/Gibson-Style-s/1941.htm

hth,

[munkonthehill]

That's great too.

I'm ideally looking for the actual epiphone part. But failing that I know there's alternatives

Could try asking some local luthiers/shops that deal with repairs and mods they usually have a bucket of odds and ends lying around. Usually just plastic strat knobs though.

They don't have a bloody clue about historical stuff, but you might have more success with a current/recent product.

I tried ordering Epiphone parts a few years ago (scratchplate for a Epiphone Broadway... not an "expensive" jazz guitar, but still somewhere in the region of £600 new... not cheap) and waited for a year and a half before cancelling the order. The situation may have improved, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
