    Has anybody seen anything like this and if so where?

    A Jazz bass control plate but with Strat style output jack?

    It would have the same 3 holes for your knobs but the output jack would be strat stlye.

    From what I remember, strat output jacks are pretty long - I'm not sure you would have room for 3 pots and the space the jack takes up.

    yes - i did that. i saw a similar design on a precision bass in the states and played around with that idea a bit. in the end i swapped the classic vol-vol-tone for two switches - the first pot switches the pickup-combinations and the bass off and the second is a tone switch with differend caps.


    oops - edit: it's not possible to get 3 pots and strat jack due to the space. even with the switch-pots it's tight, but it works. i never tried stacked knobs, but iam sure they will work also.
