Modding my Squier, looking for suggestions

Many years ago, my parents bought me a Squier P-bass Special. Being that I was 13 at the time this was AWESOME. It then preceded to sit around til I was a junior in high school. After finishing my first year of college, and joining the Jazz band, I decided to start modding the squier to better suit my needs. The first order of business was a new neck, as the original's truss rod was broken. So I got a Warmoth fretless (Maple, with a rosewood board). As I was putting my bass back together, I noticed most of the screws had stripped, and while getting new ones at the hardware store, and idea popped into my head. Brass screws. This has been pretty awesome so far, but now I've got the modding bug. I'd like to get brass hardware next, along with a black pickguard, and a set of Bill Wilde pickups. I'm hoping this will all look good with the sunburst pattern on the body, but I have no idea what knobs to get.... I know its a small part, but seriously have no idea. Not that any of this is going to help my playing, but If youre gonna do a custom job, might as well go all out right? :bassist:
