how many of those knobs are functional? what does the hair growth knob do? Obviously some have to work, are some pure novelty, or do they perform

Ahh.... the simple bass!
 
Although I was hoping for a 12 volt accessory outlet, so I could light my cigarettes without calling on a waitress, and perhaps a semaphore signaling circuit to tell the soundman to adjust the bass in the mix.

For me 15 is a must. But if George Carlin was ordering this I think He would want a lot of 1 and 3, as for the rest of the 7 things you can't play on the radio, I'm guessing 24, 17,32, 35, and the ever popular, 33.  Just cause' it sound cool.

I really think that bass was made for BBC Top Gear's tame racing driver The Stig..
 
Some say he is able to smell the change in the magnetic field of a series bass after a string has been plucked and tell you what the laminates are in the body,  and that he can thumb slap the flight of the bumblebee in Bminor on a 4 string bass without hammering on whilst stammering the lyrics of my generation by the Who..!!!
 
It's for The STIG!!!!

Looks killer in black. Is there a Siruis receiver in there too so you can play along?

The Stig is also known for his eclectic soundscape preferences during his test runs - language courses, sounds of nature, early 1970s disco. Any suggestions?
