Wink Plugging knob holes

Hey guys, after a conversion my bass is left with two holes where old potentiometers used to be. Any suggestions for filling them to protect my elec cavity?

My guitar player removed the knobs/pots from his strat. Covered them with nickle sized 'conchos'. Looks great.

Easiest would be to remount the disconnected pots & knobs & don't connect them.

I can't actually recommend doing this, but in certain situations you might be able to have fun with adjusting disconnected controls. Like if there ever happened to be a control freak in a band that insisted you change your tone or level while they let their own run wild . . .
