Thanks to kat888 (thank you) I picked up those sweet Abalone knobs. Looks nice but an unanticipated result - I never really noticed how un-symmetrical the controls are. Knew they were, but I'm guessing these larger knobs magnify their positioning.
 
You "really need" several of each to make a proper judgment Roger :laugh:
It's a royal edict. It's not permission, it's a requirement. ;)
Funny, this was in reference to @PillO remarking that I should by a Matsumoku-built bass with a Poplar body. His words were "spendspendspendspendspend!"...

However, if she says so, well then...

This needs to be edited for clarity, but I'm not going to do it. I haven't had a drink in a few weeks, and am now on my second session ale. Whoops! Lol.

It's the same positions that Firebirds use, kinda cool!

I don't think it was me that said that, but I am happy to confirm by saying spendspendspendspendspend! The right number of `birds is one more.
 
Yeah... that was creepy. There was a run of "gams" ( what does that mean?) comments awhile back, relating to her Grace. But, right.

Back to my ale.

Oh great, go and get all educational on us... Not helping my need for a beer and a new bass.
