beerdragon Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 It seem you can knobs made out of gold. silver or platinum. [url="http://www.endlessknobbing.com/index.php"]http://www.endlessknobbing.com/index.php[/url] Quote
budget bassist Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) forgive me for getting the wrong impression from the thread title, but it did make me chuckle a bit Some of their stuff looks pretty cool though... Edited June 30, 2008 by budget bassist Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 That web site reads like it was written by a twelve year-old boy. Quote
beerdragon Posted July 1, 2008 Author Posted July 1, 2008 Considering what some of the products are made of, the site is pretty basic. Quote
Toasted Posted July 1, 2008 Posted July 1, 2008 That site made me laugh almost as much as Sw[i][/i]ankbox Quote

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? Quote

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

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

tauzero Posted July 3, 2008 Posted July 3, 2008 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. Quote
