Randy_Marsh Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 I want to replace the control knobs on my Warwick Corvette as theyre the old style, that are just basically black plastic ones. Does anyone know which type will fit them. Ideally i'd just like some chrome ones but does anyone of some wood knobs that wont cost a bomb?

Dread Bass Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 You can get metal knobs for a very reasonable sum from Warwick and they will fit. how many do you need? if your vette is the same as mine you will need 1 stacked and 2 none stacked. If you are just after chrome ones i think i have some lying about that i took off my vette. Im sure we can sort something out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mines a passive so 3 normal domed knobs would be sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

51m0n Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I'd love to get some turned wood knobs on the Roscoe, it would be the final touch for uber class IMO, but I've no idea what I'd need size wise or where to get them from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bubinga ones would look ace on my bass, but its just a bit much for some knobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alexclaber Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Bear in mind that the weight of the knobs has a significant effect upon balance, so with the way many basses neckdive I'd lean towards heavy brass ones rather than wood or plastic.

Alex[/quote] Maybe, but the Roscoe really doesnt suffer from any kind of neck dive at all - best balanced bass I've ever owned thats for sure....
