Music Man knobs were silkscreened on the surface. Over time, the numbers wore off or could be washed off if soaked in water.


As far as I know, there is no reasonable way to restore these knobs. I simply buy enough Fender knobs to replace every knob on the amp for a consistent look.


The Fender knobs have the numbers molded into the knob skirt then they are filled with white ink. These will not wear off and can be restored.


The Fender knobs cost between $2 & $3 each depending on were you get them. This means a $25-$35 bill to restore some of the models.


Of course, you could buy only the knobs you need, then group the Fenders to one end to minimize the "funny" look of the mismatched knobs.
