What value volume and tone controls should be used?
I generally use 250 K Audio Taper potentiometers for traditional single coils pickups such as Stratocaster, Telecaster, Jazz Bass, Precision Bass etc. For instruments with humbuckers, I like using 300 K or 500 K Audio Taper potentiometers. There are several other values that are used with active pickups and the majority of vintage instruments will use potentiometers between 250 k and 1 Meg. audio taper.
