AWESOME!!!

 

[MarkusBass]

Looks great!

What a beauty....although I am a fan of the standard knobs. Love the grain on that one. I wonder if I should trade Amber for one like that. I am a sucker for rosewood (Amber is maple) and it would match my fretless perfectly. GAS!!!!

Ahhh ... proper bass knobs

Trouble is, I've gotten quite used to the position indicators on my 55-94 ... I guess chromed ones would take a painted indicator though.

i have a set of black chrome knobs from a 55-01D if anyone would want to trade for a set of the regular knobs off of a 55-02

Or, you could try one of the following indicator methods:
1) Use a gig to hold the knobs and drill press to drill a very shallow 1/6" Dia. hole and fill with black touch-up paint or even dark colored crayon - wipe off excess.
2) Use a hack saw to cut a small slot into the corner from the top to the side of each knob.

Either way, this would provide a permanent mark for use as an indicator.

Those have indicators. I have some chrome ones that are very similar. Look closely...there is a dot indent.

yeah, once my travels slow down, I will get it in for a neck and headstock refinish, and hopefully get a JO with a B and B neck too! Then a decade and a HB and................................

You're speaking my language!

Hey guys....I am home! I found out while I Was gone that I got a promotion and will be relocating to Chattanooga, TN. I am about an hour south of there now, so not a huge deal. Played my 55-01D through my Genz rig and it sounded great. I am still going to mod it as it has some pre-amp issues. I should have a new family pic posted soon. Also, if anyone knows of any Chi'd Jazz basses that may be up for sale, let me know.

Congrats on the promotion
