Has anybody changed their knobs for aesthetic reasons?

I didn't put them on, they came with the bass, but I love the look of mine:

I've always loved those woodgrain matched tone knobs! BTW, I hope you got a great deal on that bass because it looks like somebody fell asleep routering that bridge pickup. It's all crooked like

im guessing the jazz knob shafts at 1/4"? i made the mistake of order some 6mm dometops that didnt fit so well... good thing they fit on the ibanez!

I got rid of the knobs for aesthetic reasons. Toggles look better anyway.

How do these toggle switches work?

I put clear black speed knobs on my basses. One for the look and two because you can see what the settings are. They match perfectly with my guitars.

Not a bass, but I swapped the knobs on my Talkbass edition Cream Pie for the ones that came on the blueberry version (cream colored)... And I don't have a pic.

How do these toggle switches work?

each humbucker has parallel/single-coil/series
+ neck/both/bridge
+ passive/kill/active (buffer + gain)

I put black speed knobs on my JC, think it looks pretty sharp. Still not sure if I prefer them over the gold ones though.

I like the color against the finish, more interesting than the stock black ones.

In the "nobody's going to notice but me" file... I changed the knurled Dome top knobs on my SX P to Flat top knurled knobs. I know it's probably splitting hairs for most people, but I like the Flat top knobs WAY better than the Dome tops.

Hah, you're not alone. I had knurled dome knobs on my P/J bass and replaced them with flat top knobs.

I actually had push-on import black knobs on my Jazz Bass and replaced them with Fender hex-screw Jazz knobs for authenticity.
