Weird bass that I had never heard of before.

Also, an interesting quick fix for knobs with oversized holes.

I liked the knob fix. I have that problem with my FenderBird, just been too lazy to do anything about it. Figured I would switch to solid shaft pots some day, but it doesn't seem like that's going to happen any time soon.

One of the few online videos with a Les Paul Monkey Bass, even if it is just about knob replacement.

Yes, but I like the way she says "You can spread it apart to fit there - in that hole ..." at 1:30. I'm a hopeless romantic.
Though the following "You could break your part doing that ..." is somewhat worrisome.  :-\
