J-bass potentiometer knobset in chrome P-style?

[Makkarataivas]

I have recently bought a Fender Hybrid II Jazz bass and looking at the potentiometer knobs, I realized, I want to change them into P-bass style metallic dome knobs.

However, after searching I cannot find any manufacturer who would create a smaller size metallic dome knob for the tone knob. Several manufacturers offer aftermarket metal domed knobs such as Gotoh, Allparts and Fender themselves, but none offer a set of Jazz style potentiometer knobs.

Am I stupid for not finding any, and I am breaking some new ground in this? I doubt it, so why don't any major retailers offer this? Are there any smaller shops who do these sets?
As I was watching parts, I noticed the dual stacked pots upper pot seems to be smaller, but the possibility of attaching it in the tone position without the lower part is unknown. I am set on this idea and will buy and try, but would prefer to buy a premade set if any are available.

See this gorgeous paint art to illustrate my idea:

I've never seen a diminutive metal knob to match a set. I'm pretty sure they don't make them. On the P Bass, the tone knob is the same size as the volume.

I've never seen such a thing. I replaced mine with three the same size and it looks great like that , I reckon. Good luck on your quest!

You can use the top of a concentric knob set with a 1/4" hole for the small one and match the others.

This is promising to hear! I will update eventually as the items come through.

Wow, they have a great selection of colours!

My enthusiasm got the best of me already and Allparts versions are on the way.
I bookmarked this site for future!

Long time has passed but eventually I got it together!
I purchased these metal knobs from Allparts. I did not realize that the smaller knob would also have a smaller inner diameter so adjustments had to be made. I drilled the 4,7mm inner diameter larger to 6.4mm as the other 0,25 inch diameters are. Here are the end results. I did notice the smaller knob sits a little high, but so did the orginal plastic knobs aswell. The bass is a 2024 hybrid II made in japan. I have also changed the original pickguard into a black one.

What I always use is VK1-19 for volume and blend, and the smaller VK15 from the VK15T / VK18T set for the EQ or tone if passive. All knobs from Gotoh.

Jaco didn't need a smaller knob for the tone pot.

You're free to be, or call yourself Jaco, but I am not Jaco

It was a joke, similar to the way people often say “Jaco only needed four strings”.

You may have to purchase them separately. Amazon, All Parts, Q-Parts and others have the smaller knob, but singly, not as a set. So purchase a P-bass pair of standard knobs and the smaller knob separately.
