funkle Posted August 7, 2023 Share Posted August 7, 2023 How did you work out how far the numbers had to go round to match the limits of how far the pots can turn? Do different pots have different rotational travel distances? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do different pots have different rotational travel distances? It's very simple. I didn't 😅 They match the center for the two balance (I'm using a regular 2 band EQ), "5" on the center point. The balance one is centered on the "BT". And the master volume matches on the "10" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SunByrne Posted May 29 Share Posted May 29 On 21/09/2021 at 13:55, Bass Culture said: I'm looking for a set of this for a rather special new build I've commissioned from Mike Walsh (Zoot Bass). There's a guy in the states who makes them but the cost ($65 a set) including delivery, VAT (in all likelihood) and import duties makes them very expensive (as £65/70 expensive!). I'm sure someone will suggest posting to the Wal Facebook group, and I will do that, but can anyone here recommend anything similar? Thanks. Where in the States did you find someone who makes Wal-style knobs? I haven't been able to find them here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tauzero Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 Is it permissible to go all emperor's new clothes on these and say they're (IMNSHO) pig-ugly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remizik Posted December 15 Share Posted December 15 You mean wal knobs in general or just the ones I made? What's ugly about about them if it's the later? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's mainly a dislike I have of knobs with numbers on. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simisker Posted December 16 Share Posted December 16 (edited) Interestingly, I'm a User Interface / Experience Designer and I have the opposite opinion, tau! The seemingly industry-standard approach to bass knobs - i.e. unlabelled with no numbers, lines/gradations, and often no pointers - has frustrated the hell out of me for decades. That Pbass-originated piss-poor UI has inexplicably become the norm - even on instruments of expense with complex electronics. I recently bought a Dingwall. £2500, and 5 blank unlabelled knobs. Want to know what the knobs control or what they're set at? Have a twiddle and see if you can figure it out - it's the only way to know. Good luck!* 🤷♂️ It's doubly frustrating when you consider that Leo himself got it almost perfect first time with the Stratocaster's knobs. We've gone backwards through laziness, naivety and misguided aesthetics. Having owned a Wal myself, I can say with certainty that they are still my benchmark rotary control. Ian and Pete knew what they were doing. Admittedly, they're not the best looking, but boy, they are a delight to use. Great work, @remizik ! * And don't get me started on unlabelled Active/Passive or Series/Parallel switches!

SunByrne Posted Tuesday at 00:01 Share Posted Tuesday at 00:01 I think they look pretty great, actually. Thanks, @remizik! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
