prowla Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 I've re-wired my Precision using CTS solid brass shafted pots, but then I found they're too big for the knobs to fit onto. So now I need some bigger knobs - chrome Precision style but will take a larger shaft. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickster Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) Think the ones you need are to fit 1/4" shaft. These are the ones: https://www.stringsdirect.co.uk/parts-c4/knobs-switch-tips-c102/knobs-c794/fender-telecaster-precision-bass-chrome-control-knobs-2-pack-099-1366-000-p3522 Have a look on eBay too - usually lots of them on there.

stevel Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 Your old knobs are most likely to be metric 6mm shafts, whereas the CTS pots are 1/4 inch (=6.35mm). Easy answer here is to get a 6.4mm drill bit, hold the knob securely and drill a larger hole in it. Don't forget to take out the locking grubscrew first.
