The knob on the pick-up selector of my SR5 has split in half.
Where can I get a replacement one in the UK?

Strings & Things will have the knob, but I think the proper thing to do is to order one in a shop.

My Dealer has checked with Strings and Things but they don't stock them. They are going to see if they have one somewhere. If not? Hmmm!!!

I read your threads and posts on your uk forum......THis is a gesture that says even though you slammed me and my company we will still welcome you and try to help as best we can.

Hi BP
To be honest I can't remember what I said or when or where. It must be an age thing. People told me that strange things happen when you hit 60. I'm sure I didn't slam you, probably just some personal observations. Whatever it was it must have been heat of the moment stuff. It's history. Anyway thank you. The Bongo did get swapped for a Lakland JO5 but I still have my other three MMs and they are staying.
BTW I think you've got your title a touch wrong. Judging by the amount you put into marketing and promotion I'd hardly call it "cheap", especially the Battle of the Bands. Great initiative.
Thanks for the help with the switch tip. This is the only problem I've ever had on this SR5 which I bought new from my local music store in 1998. I will contact Kevin.

All is very good, however I reserve the right to take any Company that I buy from to task. Problem is that you are the Company which tends to make it seem personal. However it is gratifying to see that the top man is very visible and very verbal. How many other companies are like that. Keep up the good work.
BTW You might just be right about a Bongo....
&BTW CK is an "all right guy" - good name for a song!!
