Knobs for Audere preamp

[vinnydbass]

does anyone know if the audere jazz bass preamps are compatible with other knobs? im not digging to look of the chrome knobs on my jazz bass.

I too did not care for the chrome knobs. Plus, they were heavy.

Below is a so-so pix of my 2005 AM STD Jazz w/ an Audere Pre w/ Sadowsky Knobs.



I also had Fender Vintage knobs on it, but needed to fabicate a spacer beneath the concentric knob due to the bass / treble stacked pot/ shaft being so tall.

Great pix and I'm not a fan of the audere knobs either though I love the preamps and just ordered a two band for mine. Did you have to use a sleeve to use the Fender knobs? Also, what did you end up fabricating for a spacer under the concentric fender? Did you have big spaces under the Sadowsky's? Thanks

Actually, the Sadowsky knobs were a perfect, fit if I remember correctly.

With Fender knobs, only the bass (lower knob) was an issue. I had a black plastic electrical 100A (or 50A) connector shell / insulator form the lab I work in. I cut off the end approximately 1/4" and filed the top and bottom smooth and used a round file on the I/D for a snug fit over the bass/treble shaft where it sits below the Fender Concentric (bass) knob. More of a modifying task instead of fabricating. It's not a perfect look, but I like the vintage knobs myself and it worked for me.

If you like, I can send you the connector and you can create a spacer yourself. Just shoot me a PM me if you would like one.

i have an emg TBC in one of my j basses and i wanted it to look as 'stock' as possible, so i made my own out of two jazz bass knobs.

here's the ring knob that i made out of a standard jazz bass knob:



and here's the top knob made out of a jazz bass's tone knob:



and here it is mounted on the plate:



from about 3 feet, it looks pretty stock to me, and it's not any taller than the other two.

WOW! Great job 'Johnk 10'! I'll remember that with my next Audere. I took much perfer Vintage knobs!

That's a very hot Jazz! Love those Black-n-Maple Basses.

Outstanding job and beautiful maple neck on your bass!

I just ordered my Audere, and requested it be sent with Black knobs. I think they look better than the chrome...but I'm really digging the Sadowsky knobs.

[MarkusBass]

Just put some Sadowskys on mine!

Resurrecting an old thread but I couldn't get the Sadowsky knobs to fit on my Audere. Weird.

That orange bass is amazing.

You can get black knobs from Audere as well as gold and gold satin.

Thanks! That is weird. The Sadowskys fit the shafts perfectly.

[TimBosby]

I'll have to try again.

I would think there would be a market for traditional knobs that fit the Audere jazz pre. I know I would buy them and pay handsomely if they fit well..... (PM sent!!!)

Is there any reason the 3 up on the right wouldn't work?
