You can make your own "No Load" pots. I did it for my neck pickup tone control. It's easy, just follow the steps at:
Project Guitar :: Checking DC resistance on your potentiometers
It works perfectly. I didn't do it on my bridge because it sounds harsh as it is.
I was worried that you might hear a pop or something when it goes to 10, but you don't.
I don't think this works for volume controls because the signal side of the pot would have no connection. I just used 1 Meg pots for volume.
