And I’ve got Sire replacements from a P7 on the way… hopefully those work! I wanted John East but out of stock for now… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’ll wait for now as the singles are out of stock too - and the chrome ones I got on the way (by sure) should do for now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah essentially does the inner part the knobs attach too feel more "certain" with these too ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah essentially does the inner part the knobs attach too feel more "certain" with these too ? It's mostly a weight thing, which probably leads to increased confidence in their turning action. Plus they're solid, these John East knobs, not this aluminium shell pressed onto a plastic insert which is in turn pressed onto the pot shaft. Those alu stock knobs felt cheap as hell to me - if it weren't for the fact they were cold to the touch in a cold room, I would have confused them with plastic, and super cheap plastic at that. I also wasn't keen on them being black - I thought the chrome knobs on the Z3 looked way nicer so that was another factor in my decision. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted Friday at 19:06 Share Posted Friday at 19:06 Oh I thought this was interesting. Exactly same issue as my first unit (corroded rusty battery compartment). I wonder (speculation but how many basses out of a stock of 9 have this issue?) if this was the same unit. If 2/9, awful Sire quality. Not my experience with Sire basses… I’m inclined to think it’s the same unit from this poor fella that was sent over to me. anyway, it’s NBD day with a V5 and I’m proper happy with this hanger update for the autumn season 😂 Ander. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ander87 Posted Friday at 22:57 Share Posted Friday at 22:57 Argh! Sorry @feech thats annoying! I am disappointed with a brand as big as Anderson’s really, these could’ve been checked. im very happy with mine but seems theyre worth a close inspection… and good thing is sire will probs sort next run too either way as it often happens… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
