The potentiometer and inner (button) portion of that S1 knob are pretty easy to find. The outer portion of the knob is a bear to find! Don't lose the one you have.

Just curious . . . I see 2 part numbers for the Jazz Bass S-1 pot. 000-1260-000 and 000-1260-049. By their description, they appear to be the same part. Does anyone know if there is a difference between the two?

Haha! Only yankin' your chain! Lol! Cost me $16 US shipped. Such a deal!

I didn't even mention that I paid $225 for it! ;)

The elusive S-1 lower knob has finally arrived! Born in Corona, California it traveled to Aalesund, Norway and back to Nevada USA! Seems crazy, but it was the only one I could locate.

Chalk one up for perseverance . . . Finally located a lower S-1 knob (005-9275-000) in Norway!

I can definitely attest to the fact that the S1 knob is impossible to find. I found the push button portion, but the lower knob is a *@#$^! to find.

Hi all, Happy holidays! I have a 2006 American Series Jazz Bass. I thought I read that all guitars produced for 2006 had a "Diamond Anniversary" 60th designation. Does anyone know if this is the case? Mine does not have anything that identifies an anniversary year. Thanks!

Not that anyone is hanging on the edge of their seat for this, but I dug a little deeper and found some sales specs for the American Series Jazz Bass line. It seems only the Sunset Orange Transparent used an Ash body. So although I can see the grain in my Butterscotch Blonde, it's Alder. I'm...

I'm in the middle of the desert here, so I can relate. I recently purchased Boveda 49% Humipacks to throw in guitar cases. I've used them for years in my cigar humidor and they keep the humidity level consistent. When they dry up, I toss in another.

Thanks for the reply! The finish on mine is transparent (semi?), so I guess I can assume it is ash. :)

Fabrication might be a last resort if I can't locate this puppy . . .

I noticed that the American Series Jazz Basses were either Alder or Ash depending on color. I have a 2006 in Butterscotch Blonde. Just curious to know what I have and what colors determined which wood was used. Anybody familiar with these? photo upload site

Yes. They pointed me toward a number of parts resellers. I've come up empty handed. No one has them. I have the actual switch (pot) and the center "button" portion, I'm just missing the lower knob. Frustrating. I can't believe this little part is that rare.
