bronco/fender blender knobs, where can i get them?

Post by finboy »

where can i find these? i see them once in a while on ebay, but for STUPID prices, it would almost be cheaper just to buy a fender blender r/i, swap the knobs for something else, and have a free fuzz pedal.

does anyone make knockoffs?

i think that's standard practice. or just do what robroe did and find an old fender 400ps and steal the many knobs it has. if you find an aftermarket source for them, be sure to let us know.

I did that with mine. I think I bought the blender for $80 used, sold the knobs for like $30 a set and then sold the pedal for $65

i took this photo with my own trembeling hands. last time i was at HOG i asked to buy it. i had the cash in hand. but the guys told me that only the owner can sell vintage stuff and i would have to wait until 5pm when he came back to close. (it was a sunday) so i said fuck it. last time i was there they wanted 150 for it. haha

someday it will be mine. and i will make a million dollars off it very slowly.

Hey Robroe....I go to HOG just about every Sunday, and I'm always looking at vintage. I talk to Bruce. E-bay is cheaper than he is though!
