amen to that!

It's brilliantly tongue-in-cheek, "Large, small, fat or thin, we believe that all knobs deserve a good shine" gotta love that!

I've always wanted a site that can turn my dream knob into a shining pillar of hard, glistening reality! lol!

Has anyone actually had any knobs made yet?

yeah yeah, i know, £35 per knob's hideously excessive...but if you're spending serious money on a top bo**ocks custom bass, then you might blow the expense and get some platinum, jewel encrusted knobs merely cos you can!


I know, if money was no object, I'd go crazygonuts and get 'em!

Really? Assuming they were valueless so were giving them away for free, would you actually want to add that extra weight to your bass?

Why not make your own? Length of aluminium round bar, some grub screws, a pillar drill, and a Dremel (or Dremel clone of extreme cheapness) to do the fancy engraving. If you want a knob you can actually turn with sweaty mitts, get some heatshrink tubing of an adequate diameter and stick that over your knob, then heat it up and shrink it.

I had a problem a bit like that, I discovered around puberty, had to have surgery.
