Is there a company that makes custom tuners?

Hello, new member, long time lurker here.

Last month there was a relatively rare 60's/70's Yamaha bass on eBay, and it had really cool half-circle tuner knobs:



That got me wondering - are there any companies out there that make bass tuners with unique knob shapes, or companies that will do fully customized tuner knobs?

[ehque]

THG will make custom wood knobs for tuners.

fwiw my zon's gotoh tuners have a Z motif on them, the big companies will probably do a run for you if you need quite a few.

A good machine shop should be able to fabricate a set of tuning key knobs. I doubt it'll be cheap. But who said being different was cheap?

Yeah, a machine shop is your best bet. It won't be cheap, but then again, good stuff seldom is.
