Title: thought these looked cool.
Post by: hammerheadmusicman on March 01, 2013, 10:20:38 AM
just bought 5 of these to see what they are like, but it thought they'd look cool on something with a fancy decal.

Has anyone used them before?

That's what I thought, should be here in a week or so, I'll report back when these arrive :) if they are good I'll contact the seller about buying a load.

Agreed... I HATE the white ones. I'd actually like to get some aluminum ones to match my plain enclosures, but clear ones seem like an even better option.

Got some black ones from Mammoth. They look prety good. Used one on my Einstein delay

I like them. I like metal too, these look pretty mod on a bare finished box.  great job.

I tried some larger diameter clear washers as an alt to lighted pots and the acrylic lighted bottom panels a year or so ago.  Never got it to look very good, but maybe it deserves another chance.  might look good on 1590bb or larger.  I do not resent the white ones as much as most around here.

me neither, i guite like the white ones, as do a lot of guys who have me build stuff for them, i just though clear looked really cool. Not for covering up a mis-driled hole though ;)

I don't mind the white washer, either, but options are nice.  The only pet peeve I have regarding washers is when people put the lock washer on the outside of the enclosure. 

Of course I have seen builds with lock washers used externally in cool ways, so I guess even that can be cool 8)

I have used coins to good effect at times for washers and misdrills.  another option to consider.  I repeat though, I really like the clear.  looks much better than I expected.
