Basses with the most control knobs and switches.

[mettec]

I am curious on what basses have the most control knobs and switches on them. I can think of a few like Conklin, Fodera, and Alembics but what are some others and pics if you have them.

To me it's Alembics hand down.

Checkout some of the Conklins! There are a few that have 10, 11, and 12 knobs/switches.

I totally forgot about those B.C. Rich Bitch basses

Yup, it was a first round K>O!

I think Phil is looking down and trying to figure out what knob to turn.

(and playing with a pick makes it harder to turn those knobs in a hurry)

LOL! Never saw that Jack!

By the way, weren't both of these guys (Phil and Jack) hooked up with Owsley Stanley?

Might explain alot!

(not dissing Owsley, he was the live sound genius! - as well as genius in many other ways)

OP - I like vegetables, like carrots and onions. What are some other vegetables that people like.

Reply one: Carrots!!!
Reply two: Carrots are awesome
R3 : +1
R4 : +10000
and so on...


Not much in way of replies actually helping the OP. Even though it is THE TB veggie, theoretical OP asked for new info, not repeating what he already knows, and posted that he knew.



(Yes, I'm bored)

Yes, Yes, and Yes. Plus he knew electronics too.

Being a bird lover, I loved those little owls.

I'd say Lokire's old Stambaugh 6 has to be on the list.

Some of the controls may not be labeled correctly in this photo though. . .
