I still want to see how much the Chinese knob is gonna be. the chinese one is more white. I'm also going to inquire with davies, just to compare.

Is that per piece?

If so, you can do better at Smallbear:

$0.85 each.

If you get at least 100, it drops to $0.67. Goes down from there.

They also have straight white:

Thanks for the tip. I saw a keyboard this weekend with red varibond plastic dye on they keys. Super badass. I found the knob groupbuy thread on electro music. That guy gets $4 each for blue knobs. He is either making money or getting them from davies in small batches.

also bought 3 strat knobs from china for $1.04 shipped. thats $0.34 per peice, I consider that to be a win. I want to order them in bulk, just the volume in black with white text. I use them for attenuators so I dont have to write on the box. pictured here is a similar knob that is not labeled at all. this could be good for pedals.
