I was looking for a place to get some color/style options on some bass tuners and I finally came across a place that had one of the things I was looking for. Anywho, thought I might drop their site on here, in case anyone else was looking for something like this.

I was looking for a bass tuner I could get with different button options (An Upgrade for my Danelectro, but still with a feel of the original plastic buttons), which they definitely have. As well as tons of color options (for a nominal fee of course).

Does anyone know of a place that has similar options but on "Grover MINI BASS MACHINE" ?
I know from Grover's site you can order Chrome, Gold, and Black finishes. But I'm looking for something white (More accurately, I'm really only looking for white Bushings & Knobs).

Also, I'm thinking about working on a project using a stacked knob setup. I know the common knobs are short chrome, and I've seen a few wooden ones. But I'm looking for something similar to the Dano ones.  I read a thread before, and have heard about the shortage of Dano stacked knobs: http://bassoutpost.com/index.php?topic=1313.0 .

If I recall correctly, Allparts carries the actual Dano plastic button bass knobs.  I used them on this bass...........

Indeed, they do. Mine just stopped holding tune (mainly on the 'E' String). Do your new ones do a good job? Maybe some new ones would fix the issue.

Well, I've only had them a few months, but so far, so good.
