yo i say get one of them 300k pots from art of tone. snaps off a piece of that brightness but not too much. It's like when you get a Kit-Kat bar (American chocolate candy) and you break off just 1 or 2 rows instead of half. that's what it does to your tone. Still delicious, just not too much.

I just wired up a strat with a JB in the bridge and a 250k volume only and it sounds perfect. You should be good. Just adjust the pup height on the bass and treble sides.The things that you wanted
I bought them for you

Myself, I'd want a tone pot too. But that's just me.
Sometimes in a fat-sounding or darkly voiced Les Paul the JB does well with a 500K.
Strat types don't really have that kind of fullness in their lows though.Charvel Model-5fx EMG 85/SA

I found concentric knobs kinda cumbersome - not so easy to dial 'em intuitively without looking down.
If you're short on room for knobs I guess it's a viable option for tone controls, which don't get used quite as often.
But for me a dual concentric volume knob would be very inconvenient..
