I had a hard time telling the position of the standard knobs on my Ibanez, so I placed an order at lovemyswitches.....
What bass is this?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a MM Ray type bass with only 2 (back mounted no less) controls.
Thanks! I looked them up, seems like a bass that I’d like!
Price is really low, are you happy with the quality of yours?
I am, sounds & plays great. Heavier but not terrible. Upgraded hipshots.
Fender Aerodyne Jazz Bass with pinky knobs...
Classin’ up the old Fodera. Guyker aluminum knobs, Amazon calibrated dial plates.
Phenolic jazz bass knobs on a Bud crate p bass :
Are those from standard hose cocks, gar valves, or globe valves…? (Not that it makes a difference…
I’m partial to the classic Jazz Bass knob:
This set on the tobacco burst bass is a standard MIA VVT set plus a stacked pair for a Deluxe/Elite/Ultra I model.
The pair on the black bass are, believe it or not, from an old Lincoln Invertec 250S welding machine. I have found that “Jazz Bass” knobs have been used on commercial/industrial machinery and equipment for decades…probably how Leo found himself using them…
Note the Jazz Bass knobs. I also have the huge one from the amperage dial, kind of like a “Joe Dart” knob, fits a 1/4” solid shaft pot.
I found a 3rd JB knob a couple weeks ago on a failed compressed air tank purge timer. The timer was disconnected and left on the floor, I secured the knob…
Once I find a 4th somewhere on a job site, I’ll install the pair onto the black bass in place of the two black dome knobs.
