knob problem? help

[mantaraya]

hi. my treble knob developed this little problem. when i roll it all the way up and conversevely all the way down it stops (like all of them) and then if you try to roll it more it will do but with this jjjjjjjjjjjj sound like something is loose or scratchy. HEAR ME WELL. its not the sound being amped, so its not the typical jjjjjjjjjjjj when you dial with the potencimeter. cause my problem is not amped. at this point it is ok. is just that at the top it gives you some more movement but with this jjjjjjjjjjj sound. any answers?

Just a question...are you serious?

If the answer is yes, call customer service. They will treat you right...certainly better than you could possibly hope to get from a bunch of bass players that can't actually get their hands on your bass to give a proper diagnosis.

ya, ya, so I'm juvenile... but the title of this thread made me giggle.

You are not alone.

 

[maddog]

you seem to be having a lot of problems.

Knobs take very little pressure to turn. If you are getting movement after the pot stops, the set screw may be loose or the compression fit is worn out. Can't remember which the SR's use.

any other bass players nearby that can give your axe a run down to see what is going on?

 

[TSanders]

wow

that is all

It is of course quite possible that you have a Markovian knob. With the Markovian knobs, given the present setting, future settings can be said to be independent of the past settings.

In other words, the description of the present state of the knob fully captures all the information that could influence the future evolution of the process. Future knob twiddling will be reached through a probabilistic process instead of a deterministic one.

At each step, the system may change its "knobbish" state from the current state to another state, or remain in the same state, according to a certain probability distribution. The changes are called transitions, and the probabilities associated with various state-changes are called transition probabilities.

An example is a simple random walk where the state space is a set of vertices of a graph and the transition steps involve moving to any of the neighbors of the current vertex with equal probability (regardless of the history of the walk).

So be careful. Once the knob stops, so should you.

umm, ya, what Jack said.

 

[Oldtoe]

Sure, sure, Jack. But can you say that in Welsh?

THANKS. i fixed it. turns to be just a simple loose screw. tighten it and just sweet as new. thanks everybody. sorry for that stupid thread.

Last night I played a Stingray at rehearsal and when I turned the knobs it made this boooooooom boom boomdeboom sound, for the next 4 hours. This was not a knob problem per se, but the guitarist closest to me kept looking over his shoulder because he thought a Brontosaurus was chasing him.

Damn sleepwalking guitarists.

This was much funnier than my answer.

The sad thing is that I'm able to follow that.

fancy way of saying "random process". That Markov guy was such a verbose fellow.
