Just ordered some custom knobs from THG for this baby. I should have them by the beginning of April.  
I'm really excited, I think they will look original and amazing... Let's see!

Can't wait for them to arrive:

Full ebony with a maple stripe.
Hopefully, by tuesday I'll post some pics of the bass with them on!

Greg, Btw, did you order those from David King- he makes custom wood knobs, doesn't he, if I recall correctly?  
 
Those are going to look incredible, I'm sure with that honey of a bass!  
 
I think there might be a set of those, in my future...  
 
If you have a link for where you ordered those from please share it with us!
 
Congrats on The Beautiful Bass!
 
Frank

Frank,
I ordered them from Roger, from THG Knobs.
Simply email him. You tell him the shape you want, the woods you wants and he makes the magic.
And he was actually pretty fast, so you don't get impatient waiting! He made my knobs in a month.
I wanted them to look the more original possible, by replacing the plastic ones with the most similar design, but out of wood.
IMO, Alembic should offer knobs like mine as a normal option for their basses. I just find those plastic ones not worthy of being on such awesome wood tops...
Let's see how this ones go against the cocobolo top of my bass....

Greg, you sure have an eye for beautiness!
Not just a bass, this is an Alembic!

Obrigado Mario! You will see it at our future gathering...
The knobs are on the bass, I'm just waiting for the skies to clear to take some shots for you guys to see...
I really liked the look of it! Definitely something that will be on my future custom!
