W1_Pro Posted yesterday at 10:12 Posted yesterday at 10:12 (edited) Morning all, I'm looking for a set of replacement knobs for an Overwater 'Original' or 'C' bass per the pics below. I've reached out to Overwater via the form on their website and recieved the usual stellar customer care (absolute silence). The knobs look to be knurled wood, with either a plastic or MOP position marker on the top. They are flared at the bottom like a witches hat knob. Anyone know of a supplier or could suggest anything similar? Many thanks in advance for your help. Stuart Edited yesterday at 10:13 by W1_Pro Quote
JPJ Posted yesterday at 11:04 Posted yesterday at 11:04 Give Chris or Martin a call at the factory. When Martin did a refret and setup on my original series 5’er, Chris replaced at least one of the knobs from NOS. 1 Quote

W1_Pro Posted 20 hours ago Author Posted 20 hours ago (edited) That is an awesome selection of knobs it must be said. Thank you Hellzero. As it goes, I took JPJ's advice and called Overwater, I think it was Chris I spoke to, who was, as usual very chatty and astonishingly knowledgeable and helpful. I ended up ordering some new Overwater knobs. I only wish that someone, anyone would pick up the emails they get from the contact form on their website. I think this is either the second or third time I've filled it in and got nowhere. Would any of you folks happen to know where I can come by a 1 meg log PCB pot and a 1 meg linear PCB pot?

I've also emailed the folks at Banzai you suggested (technically I need straight splines rather than right angles) to see if they can maybe help. Quote
