Knobs!!

BTW this isn't an insult to all you guys! 😉.

Fact is, I've got a bass up for sale where the control knobs are a bit knackered and need replacing. The most convenient store for me is Bass Direct but I 'm a bit gobsmacked at the prices, between £6 and 12.. each it seems and I need five. Are these prices normal and if not where can i get cheaper plastic ones?

What type of knobs are you needing? Photos of the old ones?

Fleabay is your friend here. Most of the control knobs I've ever bought have come either from there or from Fuzzdog.

hmm cant see them as clearly as I hoped but is a Peavey Cirrus BXP.  Googled for info on what type these knobs are but nowt. Anyone else had one of these and might know?

Are they 1/4-inch solid shaft or splined?

EBay.  Cheap as chips. 

[fleabag]

So, try chips ?

I can't really see clearly what sort they are from the pic, but I get my knobs from Northwest Guitars.

Axes 'R' Us have a fine selection.

Thomann for me - while you can spend stupid amounts on, for example, PRS knobs, they also stock a lot of very reasonably prices stuff - for example Warwick knobs are pretty cheap

My Genzler Magellan is a great amp But the knobs make it very difficult to adjust on a gig. Nice and arty but the dot on the front and reference line on the circumference are mostly invisible. You can’t beat chicken heads for backline.
