BMXGUY Posted February 4, 2004 Report Share Posted February 4, 2004 Hi i was looking at the dice knobs from guitar bones but they are an outrageous price can these be made just using regular dice if any knows the size of the bit that should be used for a 250k pot please let me know, i found a site that sells some nice dice but would the material work http://www.doordice.com/Games/CompanyDetai...rch_StartRow=31 I also foud a site which sells the same sort of dice that www.guitarbones.com has on for 28.00 they can be found at http://darkelf.bizhosting.com/koplow_pair_...ity_sealed.html for 8.95 but theres no hole thanks alot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKGBass Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I don't know about bit size, but I think you'd be better off getting dice somewhere local. I'm sure it would be much MUCH cheaper, and no shipping costs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMXGUY Posted February 5, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 i looked around some shops here awhile ago and didnt see much they were roughly the same price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdog Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 BMXGUY.....15/64in should give you a nice fit....I make my knobs from wood...ebony and african blackwood.....If you drill your dice to this spec, you should get a nice snug fit.....1/4in will be sloppy.

soapbarstrat Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 I helped a friend make dice knobs about 14 years ago. I think he got some of those "sleeves" that convert a split shaft to a 1/4" solid shaft. We drilled a hole in the dice, then he pressed that sleeve in. Might have used super-glue to help it stay snug. I would imagine we used a 1/4" bit, but maybe it would be better to use a bit slighty under-size of that. depends on the diameter of the sleeve thing.

natethegreat86 Posted February 5, 2004 Report Share Posted February 5, 2004 i just got some of those a little while ago from a local guitar shop for like 4-5 bucks i think. i know it wasnt much. the only problem with them is they are very hard to get to fit on some knowbs. the hole in the dice isnt wide enough and i actually had to get an exacto knife in there and scrape it out til it was wide enuf. but now it works, although i dont think they look very cool once they'r on there.
