Sign in to disble this ad
So I figure that the 4 metal knobs I have on my modded 76 Precision add close to a pound to the weight of that bass, and plastic knobs would weigh much less. Unfortunately, the only plastic dome knobs I can find are ivory colored or black, and that's right out. So does anyone know if you can get chrome plated plastic Fender dome knobs?

plastic chrome doesn't last, it peels. plus it's just cheesy. plus plus, removing weight from the body end just makes the neck heavier.

| | | | Plastic chrome is super-cheese. You could go withe strat knobs, I think those are somewhat period correct. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
