Got your attention? I need a 250k audio taper volume pot w/push-pull switch, 3/8" flange 1/4" shaft that has a shorter profile. Most are a hair over 1 inch in depth, my bass doesn't have this much room and I don't want to modify it.

Application: coil tap for a stacked single coil.
 
There are several on ebay, but not many list a spec for mounting depth. The pics look like they are various sizes/depths. But, I saw that a few of the sellers encourage questions, so maybe go there and ask them to measure the ones they are selling.
 
DigiKey has an extensive collection - so extensive that you may need to spend some time winnowing through the search function. But they've got all manner of specs for virtually everything.

That said, I just bought a volume pot (not as fancy as your specs, just a standard Bourns) through Amazon.
 
I got all my pots at Invalid Link Removed, the reason is they just happened to have every single pot I needed so I didnt have to buy 3 different pot types and pay shipping for each from different vendors. You might not have the problem I did (the pots I bought were sort of very specific and I didnt want to buy one pot from each distributor that happened to have them).

amplifiedparts.com had what I needed and are not too expensive, not as cheap as digikey though.
