MacDaddy Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Following a couple of years gigging, often twice a week, I've finally decided to do something about my roadworn combo. I've ordered a couple of knobs to replace the missing ones, but I'm wondering, as they all easily pull off, would adding a dab of super glue to them all be a good idea? The combo is out of warranty.

PaulThePlug Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 (edited) Ptfe plumbers tape? along the length and under, rather than around... or poke a loop in to the knob hole first...might be enough?

John Cribbin Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Personally I would have gone with Telecaster type knobs, ie held on with grub screws, but .... No, no way, never superglue. Once upon a time I inherited a shower unit where the knobs must have come loose in the past. The owner 'solved' the problem with superglue. Had to destroy the knobs to service it, so if you're not that bothered ... PTFE tape might work, I've used a bit of paper in the past, you just need to increase the grip a bit.

If you ever need to replace a pot, you're stymied if you can't get your knob off (oooer). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigguy2017 Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 Stick them on with a blob of silicon sealer - you will be able to get them off when required 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
