In the conventional Jazz Bass control plate, you will be looking at Neck PU Volume, Bridge PU Volume, Master Tone, output jack socket.
If the instrument has been customised, you may have Volume, Balance, EQ, jack.
Speaking of sizes, if the original Japanese pots are the small Metric type, *proper* CTS-inspired types might not fit through the steel control plate without modification.
Thanks all
You may be better with a far-east-made pot (eg Alpha) if you don't want this to rapidly become more hassle than it's really worth. Check the shaft type before you buy anything...

Image here shows the new pot and the old 'broken' one still wired up.
Anyone send me a link for the smaller pot and control knob that will fit?
thanks for the help!

Both from the same seller which makes things slightly easier.

It seems to be hard to buy the Japanese-type knobs individually.
