MIA Fender Jazz Deluxe -- Replacement Knobs

i had sort ot the me problem-
i didnt break or strip the knob- i just wanted chrome knobs- i looked hi and lo for that and aw hite pickguard-
finally- i ordered some from smart parts-
they chatged me $79 for the pickgurd an the set of knobs-
express mail- i got a pwckage over a week later- hardly express- and it had the wrong knobs- all black- i clearly said chrome- they sent me black p bass knobs- - its been over 2 months- i hve been asking for my money back - i returned the wrong knobs- i dont even want the pickgurd anymore- but if they made it - ill pay for it- but nothing.. im just out $79-
they did return one irrate message i left them- but i wasnt here- so the saga continues.. be careful if you decide to use them- or better yet, don't!- good luck- try fender themselves- they should have the knobs

 

there are 2 types of nobs.the type that just snugly fit over the posts with the gnurls down the shaft(i said shaft )then the type that have a small screw on the side or an allen hex screw.they sell them both all over the net.i see them all the time on e-bay.or just go to your local guitar store, i see them there all the time on the rack with all the other little odd's and ends. i should'nt be to complicated.

 

try to get an engineer to drill and tap either the existing hole a bit larger or resite somewhere around the periphery
better still a watchmaker..they have small drills and screw makeing taps...
just a suggestion.

 

hey, man. I work at a fender dealer, and I can get you those parts. I can take credit cards, and unless fender is slow to ship me those, i can get them to you pretty quick. e-mail me at [email protected]

Anyways, I have one of the same basses that you are referring to, and If I ever have to replace the knobs, I'll probably get some chrome ones anyways. But I can get you the genuine fender replacements if you like.

 

I have this bass as well & I want the chrome knobs. Will fender supply these or do they only have the black plastic ones?

If they dont, who else, besides smart parts, sells replacement knobs for a jazz deluxe?

 

When I stripped one of the plastic knobs on my American Deluxe V, I got nice black metal ones from allparts.

 

i got chrome ones from GC - they ordered the stack knob from allparts- the packed knob cmae in - CG did a good job- it ws something like $8- now figure this - smart parts chrged me $79- and the pickguard was only $39- so $40 for the wrong knobs and shipping- nice!!
by the way- i really dont thik they are run by fender-
i called todya and the was a messgae saying they would be closed becuse of serious illness-
my prayers for whomever is sick- no doubt..
the whole deal has been very unstisfactory- i told them if i ran my shop like that id expect to close in a week-
the allparts stacked knob is fine , but i bit big- it sticks out way above the others- so it looks little silly-

 

BTW Adrian....that Fender Deluxe your selling looks very sweet!!!!! If I didn't already have my fender fix.....I'd be all over that
