quick question: pots and cap for 5-string bass

[Vallhagen]

Hi all.

A friend is building an electric 5-string fretless bass. The chosen/bought pickup is a Seymour Duncan SMB-5D (http://www.seymourduncan.com/pickup/music-man-5-strg-ceramic).

The wiring of choice is as simple as it gets: one volume, one tone.

Now, I have done my googling, though I find it surprisingly hard to find some fairly unambiguous info, so the question is: What value(s) shall I choose for the pots and cap? I have 500k pots at hand, and a bag full of caps.

Opinions appreciated

Cheers!

Here's hoping that is what you're looking for, it is passive. Looking forward to their build! What specs does the bass have?

Thanx Axkoa, perfect. As a followup question (rather statement), I take for granted that there's no difference in tone-cap choice because it is a 5-string, right?

I should really start a thread about the build(s), but a quickie as you ask about specs;

We're a bunch of guys (rather old men... "the band" + one) who gather together - once a week since some month - in a schools woodcrafts classroom (one of the guys is a crafts teacher) to build some stringed instruments, that's four guitars and one bass. We ordered necks (three Warmoth, two others) and some sweet black limba wood blanks found on e-bay.

The bass spec:

Neck: Warmoth Deluxe 5 Paddle; 34", 5-string straight paddle headstock, fretless, installed nut, wood: rosewood on goncalo alves (I have to doublecheck the woodchoice, i'll be back if that was wrong...).

Body: Black Limba.

Hardware: A black Schaller 3D-5 bridge, pickup Seymour Duncan SMB-5D, black metal dome knobs.. I don't remember brand/model of tuners.

Cheers!
