Building a P Bass with J Bass Bridge Pickup

I'm considering building a PJ bass (P Bass with additional J Bass bridge pickup) using Warmoth parts. We have the option of the rout for the bridge pickup, but the standard control rout appears to allow for two potentiometers and the 1/4" jack socket. Most PJ basses use three potentiometers with the same arrangement as a J bass. Any ideas?

I already have a Warmoth J Bass that looks beautiful, sounds great and plays very smoothly, and just fancied adding one to the collection.
 
Get a P Bass body with a 7/8 side jack hole and then use the P bass pickguard but instead of having a jack in the third "input" hole, use that for the third potentiometer.

Use the same approach for a rear rout.
