OH NO! My knobs are more beautiful than the rest of my bass!! (THG content /w pics!)

Sign in to disble this ad
So... I ordered some knobs quite awhile ago. Then I waited for awhile. Then awhile longer.... Then alot longer and I started to wonder if we had a Dr.Bass/Bebensee/Darrin Huff situation. Roger hadn't asked for any money up front though, and even though I had to wait awhile for responses, I had been getting them eventually.

So finally a few months ago we started talking more, he explained about how busy he'd been and how I'd be getting my stuff pretty quickly, and..... he has definitely kept his word. Not only that, but MAN this stuff looks good! The materials, the craftsmanship, everything looks REALLY NICE!

I'll admit- I have some pretty specific ideas for how I'd like things to look, sound, and feel when it comes to my instruments. I'm pretty picky with it all. I get these ideas in my head for how I'd like something to be, and I'm often disappointed with what is possible and not possible with music manufacturers simply because I am asking too much. The stuff Roger is making for me absolutely perfect.

Example:

I want some Alembic hats made. I sent Roger an awful MSPaint picture with what I'd like done

























And he comes out with:





..........What more can I ask for. Perfect. Priced reasonably, and highly recommended!

VERY nice. I love craftsmanship, even (or, especially) in the smallest details. Gonna post a pic with them installed?

Definitely! They're going on my Carl Thompson when I get it, so I will gearporn up the Bass forum when it shows up in (hopefully) a few months!

Matching strap buttons are on their way to you now. They went out a few days ago.

Hey, I remember seeing this thread awhile back. Really looking forward to seeing what this'll look like put together!
