Knobs for unusual shaft

Ha -  I had one of those as my first bass. £99 from the Littlewoods catalogue in 1987

I have in the past seen knobs with a "D" shaped hole underneath for those type of pots but I would think that regular round shaft knobs would fit as long as you tighten the grub screw into the rounded bit and not the flat bit otherwise it would push the knob in at an angle

Be careful with the bridge - the chrome peeled off on mine.

Thanks for all the replies.  I've actually managed to use two "normal" knobs with grub screws - just wrapped a fair bit of plumbers tape around them.

The neck is currently in s g-clamp in an attempt to fix the bow.  Oh, and I'm going to ignore the huge cracks in the body and call it road wear!

What I didn't mention is that this is actually the bass I learned on, and was my Christmas present in 1989!  It's been at a mates house for years in less than perfect conditions.
