Shall we call time and use the gold  knobbage ?

I reckon back both horses.  I'll do some walnut/purpleheart knobs but suggest you also see what it looks like with the gold ones when you get the bass home - and no problem if you choose to fit those instead.  When you see it in real life you'll see what I mean... ;)

Back to knobs, two done (haven't put the MoP dot on yet) and one to go. 

Same method as last time:

I use the 6mm i.d. grub-screw inserts sourced from Thonk:

Then, having cut the walnut and purpleheart to thickness, first drill the clearance recess in the walnut:

Then, without moving the wood or the press-drill, drill a 9.5mm hole:

Then use a 25mm plug cutter to cut the knob bottom out:

Same plug cutter to cut out a top disc of purpleheart:

Glue the top disc to the back.  Drill the side hole for access to the grubscrew.  Carefully drive in the splined insert and we have a coordinating knob:

What do you reckon?

The third knob is in the clamp gluing but I thought I'd take a photo of the other two in place and in better light:

By the way, the horizontal line in the walnut is a natural fissue emanating from the knot you can just see round the corner.  It's treated and stable.

There's still a lot to do, but I've got to the 'still to do' list stage (presently 14 items and falling) which is always a good sign :)

Hmmmm, the still to do list.

I've got one of them on the BlazerRay with one item outstanding - that battery box cover is still not done yet, sellotape holding the battery in place whilst I play it...

It's not a good look..
