I like the stock knobs on my Matsumoku Westone Spectrum GT.

I like all the furniture on this bass, actually. I just love this bass.

Those resemble Reeses Peanutbutter cups!




Oh, and somebody from the Amps and Cabinets forum told me to say that Derek Smalls is a bass knob!



Wait one.........whaa? Snob.?.........oh, is a bass snob!
Got it.

Hi Nightman -
Nice thread and nice knobs ! - I love the knobs in the no 4 post - they are described as simply ' custom ' . Would you know where they came from ? Thanks , Kelly

I

My DP custom with knobs turned from the same top piece of burled maple.

Not particularly "nice", but the only thing i like on this body.

I'm fond of these sort - really wanted the old gigantic GARNET knobs (or even the old gigantic ORANGE knobs) - but could not round any up...

Love the PG on that Hartke! Very striking. Has a Fritz Lang Art Deco thing going on

Knobs or not, that bass got MOJO!

I put these on most of my basses. I cut the ends off spent 12 gauge shells and glue them on my fender style knobs.

This is crazy. I bought these exact knobs for a Telecaster build and came here to post them. Here’s the rest of the stuff (went with a Callaham bridge, 1 piece ash body, and all rosewood neck. I got some burstbucker pro’s out of a 90 Gibson Les Paul, and have to expand the existing p90 cutouts in the body now, and an aluminum pick guard). Hoping to be playing it by spring. It will be my first build, and attempt at body finishing.

I...I think I may be weird. None of my instruments has any knobs at all. Not. One. Knob.

Not weird, just a knob.

"Moog Knobs" in my book. Love it!

i like those...

Mine are on Stambaughs too. The first two are matching wood knobs (burl maple and buckeye burl made by Devin Cline) and the third is the no-longer-mine hollowbody with custom titanium knobs.

Devin Cline at D-Cline Designs is the best at wood knobs.

My first bass, a Guild B301A, came new with massive, oversize top-hats (no numerals) that I've never seen anywhere else on any guitar or bass, by any maker. Sold it decades ago like a fool, but if I ever see those knobs again, I'll know it's my Chestnut Mare and I'm-a lasso her.

 

[Bassworship1]

I normally have all my basses fitted with custom Wood knobs from D-Cline Designs. Here is the last few sets I've had made.

Chicken-heads for me, they just look right to me:
