KingBollock Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 I bought my Peavey T-Max 500 about 15 years ago. I bought it used and what knobs it did have didn't match. Unfortunately the pots have 4mm shafts, and to buy replacement knobs from Peavey would cost about £30. You can buy adaptors for about 25p each, but then there's P&P, too. I have just put in an order for a bunch of cheap, but nice looking, knobs for my amp and some DIY pedals, so I needed to figure something out because they're for 6mm shafts. And then I had an idea... Aquarium air tubing! It has a 4mm inner diameter and 6mm outer, it is also quite grippy. I got a metre of it for £1, I suppose I could have asked for half a metre. Anyway, it works a treat, so I thought I would share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icastle Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 That's a neat workaround. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brensabre79 Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I was expecting something completely different from the title, looks like I came to the wrong place. Seriously though thats Nice! I have a load of that tubing stashed somewhere, and my old Peavy has 4mm shafts with cracked and glued knobs on too time to bling up the Alphabass Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
