I'm interested in knowing whether can we change the knobs of a Fender J-Bass . What / Which manufacture / Model should I look for if I want to change the knobs.


What do I have to do to change it ? plug out the original knob forcefully or there's a method ?


Anyway to make the silver bit into black as well ? Like you know , The Fender J-Bass's control knobs there ... Silver-ish bit right ... How can we change that bit as well ?

I believe you can replace any kinds of knobs as long as it fits. (applies to the non screwed on types.. )

When pulling its better to use something like a credit card to pull up the knobs, and pull a little by little on each sides until it become loose. Might break it if using too much force so becareful.

But where can get those ganas replacement knobs here ah? biggrin.gif
