? about knobs on a 1995 Stingray

[rockchic56]

Just won this 1995 black Ray on Ebay & plan on getting it set up locally . Are the black knobs on this stock/from the factory or are they something that's aftermarket? It doesn't really matter, as I like the look of the black knobs, but I'm just a bit curious.

They might be EBMM knobs, but I don't think it would have come with black.

most likely aftermarket, i don't think EB ever make them with black knobs. Looks surprisingly alright though.

EBMM has supplied black knobs with some of their basses!
I've owned a couple.

Your '95 originally came with Chrome knobs tho.

You could probably get a new set from EBMM Cust Service.

Hey BTW, congrats on your '95 blk/mple Ray!

I also recently picked up a sweet '94 blk/mple Ray,
love the neck on this one - I'll need to take better
pics of it this w/e...

Tort pickguards look great on blk/maple SR4's!

They are not stock.

You can order new ones from the factory for a few dollars...or pay hundreds of dollars on evilbay

Congrats to that bass! Great bass at a great price... would have bid as well, but was it not internationally shipping...

Thanks for the replies!

I thought they were aftermarket knobs. I'll decide when I receive the bass and see it in person if the black knobs will stay or go. I do like the combo of the black knobs with the black pickguard. Part of me would love to put a tort. or purple pearl pickguard on it, if so I'll try to order some new chrome factory knobs. The bass player from my band in high school had a 97 or 98 transparent teal Stingray with a maple neck that felt awesome, so I'm hoping this 1995 Ray will have a similar neck. I'm just so psyched to finally be getting a Stingray! I sold my SUB a while back when I needed $$ and have missed the hell out of it ever since. My cheap Ibanez RD300 just doesn't cut it tone wise. I may just turn the Ibanez into a punk rock sticker covered bass ala Flea since I do really like the feel of its 24 fret neck + I could always eventually upgrade its pickups.

I like those black knobs on that bass.
