Default bent pot

Well, during rehearsal this past Sunday I caught the bass tone knob of my Smith on the corner of a cubical wall as I was squeezing by it. It bent the pole piece in the pot. It still works, but I had to reposition the knob higher on the pole so it wouldn't rub the face of the bass, and it looks bad having a knob that is noticeably crooked.

Anyway, Ken, what would it cost me to send it in for replacement? I haven't opened the back up to look at what's involved but I'm decent with an iron if needed. Is that pot mounted to a pc board or free floating? In either case, if it's something that is easily replaced, how much would it be for just the pot, or the pot and board it's mounted to if that's how it's available.

This bass is a 2001, 9V model

Thanks!
