Those knobs are actually quite close, but not quite the same shape as RIC knobs. They sell them at Radio Shack.

There are always Jeff Rath's conversions, like this one on eBay:

Yes, I've petted this one on e-bay.

I just finished setting up the bass, truss rods, intonation, etc. Now that I know how to do the truss rods....
It plays like a dream, I just spent 2 hours playing it and enjoying it thoroughly. Thanks to one and all who educated me on where they hid the adjustments for the truss rods!!!! It now plays fully as nicely as my 4001 Yea!!

I've played a few Rath mods. They really do work well.

+1 to what Ted said.
I played almost all of them at one point or another, and the Ebay bass is a really nice player and sounds killer.

Maybe JR will find his way back here some day.
