That's strange. Perhaps tightening them with the knob removed will allow you to see if it rotates or not. Some pots have a very small circumference or diameter, and the screw may simply be unable to tighten it sufficiently.
These will work with any bass that has 1/4" sold shaft knobs. These won't work if the shafts are split. To ensure a proper fit, you should first remove your existing knobs.
To install the jazz bass knobs, you'll need a 1/8" allen wrench. A chesco wrench model 98095 or similar wrench with 9 different sizes is useful for a variety of tasks. A key point to remember is that when installing the knob, you must lower the height of the potentiometer tone by adding another nut if you do not want to stay on the same axis of the root and the button does not stay up.
A set screw knob is what these are.

I bought two of these to replace the metal P-shaped ones I had. A couple of Squier Vintage Modified Jazz Basses (5-string) have bass-style knobs. fretless and string). br>br>The first set was fantastic for me. . . the second set was not. The set screws are a strange size, but I have a drawer full of Allen wrenches in every size imaginable, and I was able to find one that worked to install the first set on my 5-foot ladder. string. The SAME Allen wrench, on the other hand, does not fit the second set of knobs I received, and I don't have any others that will. As a result, they're now largely ineffective. br>br>Another word of caution: the set screws on the Squier basses had to be cranked all the way in to secure the pots. I'm not sure if it's because they're smaller than Fender or what, but the tone knob is slightly crooked and off-center as a result of the tightening. center. Which is self-evident when you consider that you're only tightening one side of a screw. . . it'll end up crooked and off-center. center! When I think about it, it irritates me, but it's not visible from more than a few inches away, and it has no bearing on the ability to turn the knob, so it just depends on your level of irritability.
The set screws on these do not fit any standard size allen wrench, as many people have pointed out. I tried EVERY SINGLE small allen wrench I own, and NONE of them fit at all, as did the majority of those who reviewed this with the same issue. br>br>I thought I had one that was working until I realized it was just stripping the inside of the screw. I even attempted to replace the set screws with others I had (doing the entire twist while holding the wrench at an angle to "bite" on the insides of the screw). ok for loosening, but don't tighten with this method or you'll strip it to the point of being unrecognizable)br>br>These are complete garbage. NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER.
According to the customer reviews, these knobs have quality control issues. br>br>I took a chance and got the right size allen key / hex key, but two of the knobs screws are stripped and won't advance. There are no issues with one of the knobs. Other manufacturers produce these knobs, some of which are simply "push down" types in both metric and imperial sizes. Mr. Tom.
They're genuine Fender Jazz Bass knobs, to be sure. On my American Standard Jazz Bass, one of the knobs was damaged, and I needed a replacement. Also, I preferred these knobs to the ones that came with my Lakland 55-inch television. I also put a set of these on it because it was 60 at the time. They are not much more expensive than other imported ones. br>br> Check these out if you have a Jazz Bass that can use these types of knobs.
The 1/16th Allen fits perfectly on the small tone knob, but the set screws on the two volume knobs are slightly larger. The Allen wrench will not tighten unless it is large enough. The next-largest Allen wrench (I have a 30-piece set) is too big. As a result, I now have knobs that I am unable to use because the set screws are too large to tighten. Also, returns are not accepted on this item. It arrived in a Fender box and appeared to be brand new.
The original is a perfect match. The two volume knobs on my 2005 Geddy Lee Jazz bass were missing, but the tone knob was still there. These were a perfect match for the old knob. The two larger volume knobs in the photo are new ones I recently purchased, while the smaller tone knob is the original. All of the knobs were easily accessible with a 1/16" Allen wrench. My package stated that it was made in the United States of America.
as if it were a tiny allen key These knobs come with a set screw in a size that I couldn't find anywhere, not even in a machine shop with hundreds of different sizes. br>I simply wrapped the shafts in heat shrink tubing and eased them into place to make them fit. The fit is nice and snug. br>However, if you're going to sell something that has a screw in each of the three knobs, include the wrench and don't be so cheap, Fender!.
The knobs, in my opinion, improve the appearance of the bass. The only thing I'll say is that if you don't have the pots, you'll have to make do with what you have. I only had to spread the pot out a little and tighten the screws. It was a good decision.
