As for the knobs, see if you can find white JB knobs to match the pups, that'd be cool IMO.
What kind of strings?

| | Registered User | | | | | I like it! Very smooth. No sticking. Yes, it feels like the next best thing to smooth velvety, broken-in raw wood.

| | | | pretty sweet bass, although the gold pearl control plate is a bit much. i prefer a .022mf cap over a .047mf as it lets more mides through to my ears and isn't as dark sounding. that is an absolutely killer neck though.

| | | | Good looker for sure! I would have gone with darker blocks and binding, but that's just me. And a chrome control plate.

| | | | Amazing looking bass. That pinup plate is a really fantastic touch. It ties together everything. |

I've decided to change out the knobs to the Allparts Heavy Knurled Chrome Barrel knobs. They have a "jeweled" look to them, and they have a solid feel.
