Hi folks, I recently purchased the VM bass and I love it; It screamed t o be modified more, so I added the chrome pickup covers and I'd like to swap the original chrome knobs for the black ones on the Fender Jazzes. My question is; will the standard Fender control knobs fir the Squuier shafts or do I need to look for ones that are specifically for imports? Any help or info would be appreciated. I looked on both the fender and the squier site, and nowhere could I fiind the size of the Squier vol/tone control pots shaft. :cry:

Hmmmmmmmmmmm, good question. I'd make some calls to local stores and see if they had any, then take the bass down and see if they fit. I have to think they're a standard size. Let us know.

I have one too, it is a remarkable bass.

Good luck!

Thanks ox, that's a good idea. I actually wrote to Fender and they replied - they said the standard knobs should fit. I have a pretty good relationship with my local GC so I'll take your advice and head down there. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Yep it is an awesome bass for the money. When it's done I'll post some pics.

I put a set of All Parts jazz bass knobs on my old VM jazz bass. I had to drill the tone knob to fit, but the volume knobs were the right size.
