Has anyone ever tried to buy numbered knobs for their Bongo? I used to really dig the sound of everything flat on my HH Bongo, but lately I've been experimenting with cutting some of the mids out for a different sound. Problem is, it's a long way between the centre detente and the fully cut position, and it' hard to find exactly the same place every time for a consistant sound.
I've always envied guitar players with their numbered knobs, I've not come across them on basses. For example, you're playing a gig with a mix of heavy rock and acoustic numbers. During soundcheck, the guitarist figures he'll have his volume on 8 for the loud stuff, and 5 for the quiet. The bassist has almost gotta guess where the sweet spot is if he wants to control the volume with his onboard pre-amp.
Long story short, anyone know where I can pick up some custom Bongo knobs?
