i can't tell from the one picture but it doesn't even look like a mismatched knob. rickenbacker knobs often lose the metal cap.
It is the correct knob, just missing the metal cap.

Ahh, well if you're fine with that, stay with that. But you can get replacement knobs easily at The place to shop for Rickenbacker Guitars, Basses and Parts
That is EXACTLY why a lot of people are suggesting to keep the badass bridge. The bass sounds great and the OP loves it, there's no reason to go and change something that affects the sound, for now, right?
The pickup cover, on the other hand, looks like a really poor job. The bass is black, so there's no risk of removing it and finding out that the finish has aged differently under the cover. I would definitely look for a replacement.
Or maybe create a new cover, but one that looks better
He could always just paint the silver pickup cover black to match the bass.
