Title: Scarlets new knobs Version 2
Post by: flaxattack on October 11, 2008, 09:57:08 AM

I am still waiting for roger to complete the toggle covers but I wanted to post these photos of the qcb led knobs. Roger was really good about redoing them after some technical issues with the first batch. He took them back and totally reworked them and came up with a new design internally that helps these perform much better than the originals. the leds are turned on by either holding the shaft and turning the cap clockwise to turn and lock on or as i have found the easiest way is to turn the knobs full clockwise and gently turn the cap until they lock on. the batteries are right on top inside the cap making replacement super easy. he also was able to put 2 set screws in which makes mounting and securing really easy. thanks roger
i will be back with some more photos

Not sure if PC is the same as Mac, but this is how it looks on a Mac.  1) select "Image Size" from the image pull down. 2) enter your new image size at 72 pixels/inch in the window. 3) save the image as a jpeg file

I like those alot Jeff. Giving me plenty to think about for my next custom - or maybe even just an upgrade to the basses I already have.

Very nice, Flax!
 
Roger's THG stuff is not cheap, but his work is excellent and he does stand behind his work.
 
Cheers,

very true kevin. but when i thought about it?
i spent a ton of money on the bass. the money i spent on the knobs was icing on the cake and it does add to scarlets beauty. since this will probably be my last custom i figured what the heck
