Where to find satin chrome hardware?

[Big B.]

I am currently building a bass and I want to use satin chrome hardware. So far I have had no problem finding a bridge but I need some quality Y key tuners (hipshot, gotoh) as well as single and concentric knobs. For whatever reason the satin hardware is much harder to find. If you have advice on where to look it would be appreciated. Thanks.

You may have better luck finding a satin nickel finish.

Here's the solution to your y-key turners

They also carry some satin-chrome single and concentric knobs about half-way down this page, granted they're "o-ring" knobs..

Sperzel tuners come in chrome satin too.

Good point. Calling it chrome was just a way to notate the color I was going for. Nickel or chrome would be fine for my purposes.

So update on this and help still needed. Found a satin bridge and tuners (hipshot) but for the life of me the only satin finished knobs I can find are the hideous Hipshot O-ring knobs. I see production model basses with satin knobs, single and concentric, but I cant find them anywhere. Any suggestions?
