Safe removal of a tone control from a loose shaft.

My treble tone control on my active Washburn XB500 is loose. 

Having inspected it, I see that the whole pot is loose.  I think that I need to tighten the bolt that fastens the post to the body.

However, I cannot remove the tone control from the shaft of the pot.  There is no grub screw to fasten the knob to the shaft, so, it may be a friction fit.  However, it does not want to move! 

Any advice?

Love the colour of the bass, btw. ;)

 

Thank you!  I do sometimes doubt my choice - green basses are uncommon  enough for me to wonder if they are generally disliked.  However, I decided long ago that I personally like it enough not to mind.

 

I will try to Two Spoons method tonight.  And tomorrow, I will start a thread headed "Safe attachment of a tight tone control . . . "
