Nothingman Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Big shout out to the independent retailers supporting our passion. After a long search looking for knobs for my jazz bass, I finally found some that fit via James’ Home Of Tone. Great selection of stuff, good quality, decent prices, better looking jazz bass. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGreek Posted November 18, 2023 Share Posted November 18, 2023 Long live the Independent Trader!! I dread the day that the huge companies have a monopoly over what is available to buy. Sometimes it isn't just about how cheap you can buy something. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my Jazz bass would be improved in a similar fashion, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neepheid Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Apologies if this thread is just for lauding James' Home of Tone, but I would like to give a shout out to an indie merchant: Strathvegas on etsy - custom engraved switch surrounds ("poker chips"), knob rings (fnar), truss rod covers etc. He did my DO/DO NOT poker chip for my black and gold Les Paul and more recently he took a bespoke order from me (non-standard size and engraving) for a surround for a three way rotary and delivered it flawlessly, given a simple mockup done in Inkscape. He's in Canada, so it can take a few weeks to come through, but when you get the final finishing touch to a bass you've been modding - worth the wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry but your poker chip, as elegant as it is, gives the f hole conniptions and makes the chip uncomfortable. You could move it along a little and the symmetry would make both very happy.

Random Guitarist Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 I like the chip where it is. I also need to order a couple of custom ones for myself now, thanks for sharing! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
