mcnach Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 They're for a U-Retro. I have this Precision/Jazz hybrid: And I want to get my U-Retro preamp in there. But I like the look with cream or even white knobs so I'm looking for suitable dual-concentric knobs I could use. I have a J-Retro with Fender Jazz alike dual concentric knobs that can be "persuaded" to fit... unfortunately they only come in black. Anybody has seen anything that could work here?

MoonBassAlpha Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I think I've seen cream concentric ones on some Danelectro basses. It might have been a dream though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beer of the Bass Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 [quote name='MoonBassAlpha' timestamp='1478958726' post='3172970'] I think I've seen cream concentric ones on some Danelectro basses. It might have been a dream though! [/quote] I think they've got one black and one cream layer and they're pretty big too, which might look strange on a P bass.

mcnach Posted November 13, 2016 Author Share Posted November 13, 2016 Yeah, I saw the Danelectro ones. I have seen them where the cream is the big knob, and also where the colours are inverted so I could possibly get two sets to build one set the way I want them... but they are pretty big and would look odd. So I think I'll just let it be and use the standard chrome knobs that come with it (I have a spare set of black knobs too but I'll keep those). Of course, anybody who knows me is familiar with my strange logic and my GAS. So... it just happens that I have been chatting to someone who can make me a Precision bass with two Jazz pickups... in a beautiful variant of Fiesta Red, with Area J pickups etc etc... and black hardware. So I might put the U-retro in that one with the black knobs (if I go for it)... and move the neck pickup on the cream bass above much much closer to the neck, which was one of my initial ideas but changed my mind as I want to have at least one bass that does "the Jazz thang". And that way I keep the cream knobs in the bass in the picture. Hey, just because I'm slowly selling my basses to keep a selected herd of around 7 or so doesn't mean I'm going to become all sensible all of a sudden!

ead Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 How about some light coloured wooden items? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ead Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 In think there a few suppliers knocking about but they take a bit of finding. I did some research myself a little while back, I'll see if I can dig anything out. There were definitely some on evilbay which should be OK for a straightforward single wood stacker I think.
