I've just bought a new cab and head to begin 2008 with a much better tone! However, I'm desperate to fit some chrome P-Bass volume and tone controls to replace the black plastic jazz ones I currently have on my bass.
You would not belive how much trouble I'm having the right ones online! (The type with the grub screw,) and my local music retailers aren't willing to buy spares!
I'm also looking for a clear pickguard. I would just pull the white one I currently have now off, but owing to the construction of my bass this would leave exposed wires, which i don't mind being on show, but I don't want them to get damaged.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks in advance guys,

Bought my fretless "62' jazz-neck" from them btw and it works just fine.

Hey, why don't you make your own pickguard? I made mine and I haven't seen one like it. Ö


Good luck,
Örjan
