Replacement knobs for Aerodyne bass

[Bob Dahlquist]

I recently got an Aerodyne, black bass (MIJ) with the “smoke” knobs, and am not crazy about them. I looked into replacements (Gibson-style, numbered witch hats...) as well as Fender Jazz Bass (black, with white line and dot) — but am confused about what will fit!

Mine are split-shaft, but while I’ll say “fine-threaded” I’m sorry I can’t be any more specific. Lil’ help?

Thanks!

Are the Pots on your bass solid shaft or split shaft? Solid shaft Knobs have a set screw and split shaft just push on.

Thanks — they’re split shaft, but just today I got some brass sleeves (from Allparts) that will allow me to install Fender Jazz Bass knobs, so I’ll be doing that tomorrow!

I had the Jazz knobs on mine.

Just yesterday I got some as well! — the brass sleeves worked great with the Fender Jazz Bass knobs — I’m all set.
