Q-Parts Custom Potiknob JumboSkull 2C

Since i?ve seen these Q-Parts Custom Potiknob Jumbo Skulls I thought about buying them. The only thing that kept me from doing so was the thought: ?You might look a little bit silly. You ain?t 16!? Well I?ve made up my mind and bought the knobs anyway. :)
The knob is delivered in a small plastic box and with it a small allen wrench. The skull looks just beautiful and it?s perfectly made! No sharp edges, no cast marks, a perfect chromium plating all over the surface. The structures such as nose, teeth and even the sutures show in great detail. The product image shown here by thomann really doesn?t do justice to the actual thing!
The knob is fairly heavy and comes with a little removable brass tube in the mounting hole. That way it?ll fit both solid and split poti shafts. By tightening the little allen screw located on top of the skulls head the knob is set and won?t slide.
The dimensions are approximately 1.3 by 0.84 inches.
So far I?m very happy with the new looks of my guitar. :) And it looks cool rather than foolish. :D

So nobody can see them from 50 feet away. So what? They're fun and _you_ know they're there.
They could only be better if the eyes somehow lit up in red.

Pros:
- easy to install
- instantly make your guitar look cooler
- better than chicken-head knobs for showing you where the volume/tone is set.

Cons:
- quality is a little iffy; one of mine just barely holds onto the shaft. Hey, they're cheap and fun.

Q-PARTS CUSTOM POTI KNOB sprechen natürlich in diesem Fall weniger die zarten Feingeister an, sondern die eher der härteren Gangart verschriebenen Kollegen. Dazu würde ich mich jetzt mitzählen.

Auch wenn der ein oder andere die Totenkopf-Knobs für kitschig hält: sie sind sehr gut verarbeitet und sehen tatsächlich gut und überhaupt nicht billig aus.

Die Knobs werden in stabiler Plastikverpackung ausgeliefert, lassen sich ganz einfach, unkompliziert und dank Schutzhülsen auf jeden Poti festschrauben. Zu JEDEM Knob wird ein passender Inbusschlüssel mitgeliefert.

Wer also seinen Rock/Metalinstrument optisch aufwerten möchte, sollte die Q-PARTS CUSTOM POTI KNOBs aufjedenfall mal antesten.
