Chrome J-Bass Knobs?!

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey Folks.

I ran a search and couldn't find the answer to my question...

Do J-Bass knobs come in chrome? I can only find the black plastic ones.
The only chrome ones I can find are in the P-bass style, as used by Jaco.

I'm beginning to think they just don't exist!!! I think they would sell like hot-cakes if Fender made them!

If they are not made anywhere, can I get them custom-made, so to speak?

You're looking for chromed jazz bass knobs? Those black plastic things, chromed?

If you want 'em so bad, I think Krylon Fusion has a chrome spray paint.

That won't look very good, I imagine, if it's just paint...

And yes, it's the black plastic things, but all chrome. If I can't find 'em, I suppose I'll just resort to P-Bass knobs.

Can't say I've ever seen a chrome Jazz bass knob.

I've never seen them either. Your best bet is to go with the P-Bass knobs. Or you could get those skulls with the little red eyes in them. Rock 'n roll, baby.

I don't understand why absolutely NOBODY offers the choice of a chrome J-Bass knob! I mean, on warmoth they offer skull knobs!!! Who buys those?!

Surely a chrome J knob would sell?

Well then what are you doing wasting your time on the internet?! There's an untapped market ready to be exploited! Get suppliers on the phone! Blueprints! Drawings! Castings!

Can't be bothered.

The Fender Aerodyne Jazz comes with chrome knobs, maybe that helps

Oh yeah, that's true. I forgot. Thanks man! They will look much better than the P-Bass knobs. I'll just have to find a stacked knob somehow. Or make one...
