I have a American Standard Fender Jazz Bass, I was wondering how do you take off the knobs (Volume and Tone)

Grip them on the underside and pull straight up. If they've never been removed, they may be on a little tight.

I'm going to assume that you don't have the "dome style" knobs? If you do--there is a small set-screw in the side that you'll have to loosen first.

Hope this helps!!!

Far out,man.

the amstd basses have plastic knobs with set screws... youll have to get a small allen wrench that can fit in the screw. this is usually the same size as the screws that adjust your saddle height. just loosen the set screw and they come right off.

Hey if your bass in MIM then u should be able to pull em off..like the other guys said if it's the first time u've taken them off it's gonna be a tight fit..i tend to pry them up w/my big pick (it's a big Fender Heavy triangle pick]....that does the trick for me

Like FenderJazzCam says, use a pick, medium is about the right thickness and stiffness. I push it under one edge and as I'm gently bending it up, I rotate the knob back a forth. This gently eases the knob up without damaging it or the pot. It also keeps the pick in one spot and doesn't slide it around on the pickguard which can scratch it. If you pry too hard at one spot you can mess up the inside of the knob and it won't fit too well after that.
