I just picked up a brand new american deluxe jazz bass and I want to take off the knobs in order to remove the plastic name plate that is below it. What size of allen key do I need to remove the lower knobs? The bass came with an allen key for most of the knobs but not the lower ones. thanks.

Do you have pictures? BTW nice bass. How many knobs are on a Jazz Deluxe? I thought the control diagram just pulls off. Slide it out sideways- at least the last one I had you just kind of pulled it off. You do mean diagram don't you? I have never had different size allen screws on the same bass like that. I thought if an allen wrench fit the screw on one knob- it would work on the rest- BUT that could have changed I guess.

Actually the included Allen wrench is intended for the bridge. It just also happens to fit some of the knob screws by coincidence. You'll just have to start with the smallest and go to larger ones till you find one that fits. You can get this one for a couple of buck at Sears. Auto parts stores carry very similar ones also. http://www.sears.com/allen-9-pc-sae-fold-up-hex-key/p-00977835000P?prdNo=14&blockNo=14&blockType=G14
