It depends the majority just pop off, but some basses with have a set screw which usuall requires a tiny screw driver or a Allen wrench.

Handles off water faucets, little toys, really small superballs, many little things of questionable taste- I've seen all of these. If you're personalizing your bass, what would make it more personal for you? Keep in mind that if getting off the old knobs presents a challenge, putting on new things that weren't originally intended to go on potentiometer shafts could be tricky.
