They even supply the dials that go to '11'<br /><br />Search for the above and you'll find them on the RS website.<br /><br />I found this page while looking for the pot shafts for my 1979 fretless (John Giblin's original!!) <br /><br />Anyone know where I can get the original shafts?? Paul very kindly sent me some, but they didn't have the retaining ring around them...<br /><br />http://uk.rs-online.com/web/c/passive-components/variable-resistors/potentiometer-knobs/?searchTerm=RS+pro+collet+knob&h=s&sra=oss&redirect-relevancy-data=636F3D3126696E3D4931384E4C446573635461786F6E6F6D794272616E645365617263685465726D266C753D656E266D6D3D6D617463687061727469616C6D617826706D3D5E5B5C707B4C7D2D5C707B5A737D5D2B2426706F3D353426736E3D592673743D4B4559574F52445F4D554C54495F414C5048412673633D592677633D4E4F4E45267573743D52532070726F20636F6C6C6574206B6E6F62267374613D52532070726F20636F6C6C6574206B6E6F6226Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04208795643824260527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002087831029217694.post-71736001066126751962016-01-18T20:36:25.019+00:002016-01-18T20:36:25.019+00:00Hey Walter, I would contact Paul Herman at Wal.

Alternatively, you could look at asking him to swap the existing pots for more modern alternatives. He did this for my Pro IIE and it gave the bass a whole new lease of life.

They're clearly brothers in bass!<br /><br />If you're on Facebook get along to the Wal group - it would be great to see some photos and we'd love to have you join in the discussion! https://www.facebook.com/groups/2413094311/TrevRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05305560141789395369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002087831029217694.post-24740103006368790792014-08-28T21:58:16.270+01:002014-08-28T21:58:16.270+01:00Hi Trevor, thanks for writing about your Pro.

It's dated 19-9-79 and was probably in the shop at the same time as yours :) <br /><br />Danielhttp://www.danielcossu.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7002087831029217694.post-19820294880382020162014-06-02T23:34:38.271+01:002014-06-02T23:34:38.271+01:00Would love to hear the Pro bass Trevor.
