So I absolutely love my little bassman combo (around 2005-6) but my volume and contour knobs scratch when adjusted. Is this easy to fix/clean? or should I just replace them? Any good guides online for this kind of thing? I'm somewhat of a novice electrician but I have a few qualified friends. Thanks

Try spraying with de-oxit. :wink:

All you need is a good electrical contact cleaner spray and Radio Shack or any other electronics store should have lots of it in stock.If you were living in Canada I would suggest Motomaster electrical contact cleaner from Canadian Tire,it's the best I've used yet.
