I'm looking for replacement knurled chrome knobs for a Jazz Ultra and having trouble finding stacked knobs I'm confident will work. I could order a full set of Precision Deluxe/Elite/Ultra knobs but I can't find those either, although they're pretty much what I'm looking for.

What I would love is a knurled chrome knob with black abalone like the fret inlays on my bass, but very unlikely to find that.

The Ultra I have has two standard fender knobs and then two stacked concentric knobs on the 1/4" pot.
  • Bottom knob needs to fit 1/4" solid shaft (with set screw)
  • top knob needs to fit 3/16" solid shaft (with set screw)
Most concentric stacked knobs I see are 8mm and 6mm which won't fit (6mm is too small).

In summary looking for a matched set of 4 knobs (really 6 I guess?) - two standard and two concentric stacked that will fit this bass.

I found these on Reverb that look like my best bet, I can also customize which color for top/bottom:


The Jazz Ultra is a 4 knob layout and I'm planning to do a mixed set to to easily distinguish what each knob does:

  • Volume - Black
  • Blend - Black
  • Mids/Bass - Stacked Chromed
  • Treble/Passive Tone - Chrome on top, black on bottom
Basically the controls that work in passive mode will be black, the 3 band active EQ knobs will be chrome.

Will post back here if it works out.
