Those knobs looks so shiny, they look synthetic.
When I saw your first picture, I thought those caramel colored knobs were plastic.
Plastic/Wood -- I didn't care, I want them on my 76. I am looking for that Caramel colored ones, just like those I see from your first picture.
About how much does (4) knobs -- of that make and model, cost?
As for the teardrop selector switch, I like it black. My bass already looks like a round caramel apple, so with the knobs contrasting, it makes the shape shape interesting, and almost make me say yummy.
As for the Toma_Hawk (presently in the wood shop department at Alembic) will have a Red/orange Vermilion body, and a natural neck with pinstripes laminate -- giving the look of an old formula 1 car, rolling through Monaco.
The shape is pushing a primitive arrow dynamic dimensions, like an arrow or a mallet thus the name -- Toma_Hawk.
Although, I like your idea Olie, and your basses look like something I would do in similar form, however, I don't think I will make any changes to the Toma_Hawk.
For the most part, I love Alembic Black plastic Top hats on my basses. It just, my 76er knobs are showing age and I was considering replacing them, or having the same style with another color.
Your models are fantastic and I'm leaning towards those beautiful caramel colored ones. Can you display more pictures of the first caption, I want to take those knobs and edit them on my 76'er, then I will show everyone here and get your feedback... thanks man.
