They look great. Do they have any indicator marking on them, like a little arrow or dot? I can't see any in the photo.

@John Stephen no marker as such...but I installed them with the screw (which is visible) at 12 o clock being full volume.
I generally play with neck pickup full, other pickup about 75%, and tone either all the way up or down depending on the song.

Makes sense, thanks. Your settings are similar to mine. And they are great looking knobs. Nice choice.
I realize Tvrtko's post is more than three years old, but I thought I would revive it because I have noticed the same thing on my Rumblekat. With the neck pickup all the way on, when I turn the middle pickup up or down, the change in volume is inconsistent (louder, softer, louder, etc) as I turn the middle pickup knob. Very strange. I see now from Tvrtko's post that it has to do with the wiring scheme. Not a big problem, but a bit annoying.
I find when blending pickups if I have one full open I just color the tone with the other but don’t turn the second pickup more than 1/4 turn open and adjust the tone to get where I want

Right, I noticed that. I wonder if that's unique to the Rumblekat or if other basses have that same characteristic.
Bought three knob position indicators from Stewmac (see pic), and now am trying to figure out how to install them on my Rumblekat. I took off the three knobs, and there is a nut and washer around
each post (see other pic). Anybody know, do I install the position indicators on the bottom, beneath the washer, or in between the washer and nut, or on top of the nut? Any advice is welcome.

If they fit I would put them between washer and nut, keep from scratching finish.
Oddly, I bought a set of the Qparts knobs, but I'm having a bit of trouble keeping them level. When I put the knob onto the shaft, I get it on there pretty level, but once I start screwing in the set screw, it tends to tilt slightly to one side or the other. Any trick to keep these puppies level?
Not sure but sounds like knob is to big for pot shaft see if when you loosen set screw it wiggles, if so they make brass pot sleeve adapters, cheap and work good
That's a good tip, thanks Kev1955. I'll loosen it and see how much wiggle there is. If so, will look for one of the sleeve adapters you mentioned.
