I have a knock-off Mosrite bass that I'm trying to restore to all of it's knock-off glory. Originally had the Mosrite style top hat knobs on it, but without the M. At one point as the bass changed hands (between me, my dad, and my brother) the knobs were replaced with some cheap, plastic, off-the-shelf-at-guitar-center type knobs. I'm trying to get it back to where it was originally. Can anyone point me to a source for knobs like this? If I could even find just one, I wouldn't mind casting and plating another by myself.

Also, does anyone know what size cap nut goes on the Mosrite Bass Bridge? The bridge is complete but is missing a cap nut on one of the screws that adjusts intonation. This seems like something that wouldn't be difficult to find if I knew what size I needed. It's smaller than anything I can find at my local hardware stores.

Thanks for any help you all can give me!

I have knobs and a nut cap. PM me for details, thanks, Bob

If you can posts some photo's of your guitar, it would help to identify it origin.

Thanks, Bob. I'll be in touch.

I'll try to get pictures uploaded and posted tomorrow.

Couldn't seem to get my photos to post. Here's a link to the album: https://goo.gl/photos/MNisEBSNmktAxSUJ8

Okay. I think I got it to work. I have higher resolution images if anyone needs a closer look.

Does it have a square or kidney shaped chromed neck plate on the back?

Square. Says "MADE IN JAPAN". Has a serial number: 0003298.

I may be wrong but believe that is a Mosrite copy made by Firstman of Japan probably late 60's early 70's. Maybe Dorkrock can verify more accurately if he see's this.

Here's a similar one for sale.
