Can anyone help? Looking for a part.

[wanthairspray]

Don't know if this is the right place to ask. I'm looking for four of these bad boys: Fender HM knobs. All that sets em apart is the F on top. Other than that, they are normal knobs.




Maybe budman could make 'em from Aluminium??

If anyone can help out, I'd be grateful. I have two HMs crying out for them...!

F on top and rubber around the sides.

[wanthairspray]

You mean I should make a little F myself?

What straycat is getting it is that the HM knobs have rubber on the sides of the knob, unlike typical strat-style knobs. He was just trying to help more clearly define the knobs you are looking for.

By the way, I'm curious about the answer as I have black HM Strat, also.

The only place that I can think of to possibly source some knobs is eBay if someone's parting out an HM.

I need a set like that for my Roscoe Beck Bass. I have found similar ones but they don't have the F on top.

Thanks for the clarification...I don't know about your HM my knobs don't seem rubbery...they seem all plastic!

I know that on ebay UK a few months ago a seller sold 3 HM knobs for US $35 or so...

Annoyingly, this was the same auction I won the HM body + neck on! I was outbid. Kinda seems incomplete without the "real" knobs.

I am guessing anyone who can make them will have a lot of customers!

krimson, do you think these were only found on HMs and your bass? I have not seen them around much at all.

[straycat]

Every HM strat I've had over the years had the rubber on the knobs.

[heartfielder]

They are very hard to find. I have 4 HM's, 2 Strats & 2 Tele's. Only 2 have the original knobs. G

Hah, you are right. I just picked up my HM and felt it. Rubber indeed! My dumb old hands cain't feel nuthin'.

Learn something everyday, eh?

[straycat]

I would think if you scrounge around a local music store's junk box you'll find some and pick them up on the cheap.
Thats my method for finding vintage pickups.I think I will do that tomorrow and if I find some knobs I'll P.M. you.

[wanthairspray]

Wow, thanks stray. My local shops are sucky mom and pop ones, just two. They didn't even have a Fender trem arm in stock, when I went yesterday for gawds sake!

[straycat]

The mom and pop stores are the best place to find that kind of stuff.Get to know them and be freindly that will get you on their good side.
I did that and I get all the old Kahler parts I need.Bought a NOS Kahler and auto latch for $100.00 now thats a deal.
No luck on the knobs today but I'll keep trying.Going to a different place tomorrow who knows what I may find. Found a Kramer stagemaster today and an old Kramer beak headstock neck.

Have you looked/posted on any of the Fender forums?? S-O-M

[straycat]

No luck today either.

[wanthairspray]

Thanks for keeping an eye out, Mr. Straycat. I'll do what S-O-M suggests too, I think. (Thanks for the idea S-O-M!)
