Title: Bass Guitar Pots..what size?

I'm installing pots on an Aria Pro II Bass, where there are none, and wondering what size pots would be good as a minimum value there.

If it's passive, maybe start with 250K and possibly move up to 500K? Those are pretty standard I think.

Usually 250k is used with single coils, 500k is used with humbuckers. The larger values will be more open and brighter sounding (less highs bled off). Tone caps are usually between .050uf and .1uf for bass.
