merello Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 After years, I eventually got a black maple Jazz. Really weird design feature - I kept trying to fix the tone knob to make it flush with the body like the 2 volume pots. It looked wrong but I'd never noticed it before. A technician and I even thought of sawing a few mm off the pot shaft. Then I realised it was designed that way. Are Sadowsky and others the same? Looks wrong to me and feels wrong to me.

AndyTravis Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Same sized pot shaft - different sized knobs. I didn't spot it until recently and i own 2 Jazz basses, and have had several others in the past. I don't think about it too much though...

The Bass Doc Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 Standard Fender way is to add an extra shake-proof washer to the (underside) tone pot so that it appears to shorten the threaded part of the pot and allows the knob to sit lower.
