So I'm looking to replace my black fender knobs with some really cool ones. What I had in mind were some ash knobs with a red tort top. Does anyone know if these even exist and if so where I can get them.

 

[Tactician]

There are pretty much knobs of any sort you can imagine out there somewhere. Just search on the interrnet for "jazz bass knobs" and it will give you loads of sites and retailers. Just remeber you wanta knob you can read in poor light. I have some you can't - what a pain if you want to do some in song adjustment - no point of reference - I'd consider chicken heads if they didn't look so retro (in a bad sort of way).

 

[Tactician]

I got one bass with no name on it. Should that be in an orphans thread like this FSR one?

 

[artdrtr]

Here's my heavily modified '04

Nice, George! Man, I agonized over one of these that sat in my local GC for quite awhile back then. Didn't pull the trigger though, and every time I see one I start lusting again...

Thanks, Jeff - I lucked into mine thru some trading with another player in my area... It's still really clean, but the nitro is aging nicely - and it's a great player... I think they only made 215 of them, but I still see one pop up now and then...

georgestrings, nice looking bass. Is that white or cream it's hard for me to tell. Well as you guessed it, you are number 28. List is on 2nd page.

Thanks - it's white, and that's how it came from the factory: nitro finish, matching headstock, SCN pups, S1 switch, BAII bridge, and a G&G vintage brown tolex case... There are actually a fair amount of other TBers that bought the same bass...

So do I. Wish Fender would make more of them.

If anyone is looking for an FSR, I saw one in the classifieds. Nice lookin bass.

 

[R&B]

I came close to putting an ashtray on my 2011 natural ash jazz. I had the bridge cover but no screws. So I went to the local shop and bought two. Funny thing, somewhere on the way home the little paper sack with the screws in it got lost. An omen?

I am re-thinking the idea of drilling this beauty. I did install the chrome on my new '57 AVRI P and still plan to do the same for the '62 P and J. Enough chrome to go around! So maybe the FSR jazz will stay naked after all.

I don't know ShowLow. Isn't drilling holes in a bass like sacrilegious or something.
