Knob replacement for J Retro Preamp

[BeSharp]

I just bought John East J Retro Deluxe preamp for installation in a new bass. I love the preamp but I'm not a big fan of the big heavy chrome knobs. They won't look right with the more traditional bass I'm building.

I was wondering if anyone has replaced the knobs and could give me a lead for a good source to purchase a more traditional black plastic set.

I found these on the Fender site and I like the way they look but I'm not sure they'll fit the J Retro. Does anyone know?

I just shot East an e-mail asking if these would fit. Waiting to hear back.

So...I heard back from John. Unfortunately the knob/s won't fit, as Fender users a smaller shaft. East uses 6 mm and 8mm dia knobs. Any word on a website/e-mail contact for David at DK Knobs?
