Even when I turn it from 0 or 10 I can’t hear a difference, and I thought tone was in the fingers of the players?

Fingers (the way the string is picked/plucked) definitely make a difference in the sound, particularly in the “attack envelope”. That’s how the sound volume goes up. Generally a pick gives a rapid attack, a finger pluck can give a more gentle attack. (It really depends on the technique, though.)
What the tone knob does is rather different. It is part of a simple filter circuit that’s built in. It can filter out higher/lower tones depending on how it is set. These circuits are pretty simple and the effect can be rather subtle, particularly on a bass.
