    Wiring it with just a 500K volume and 500K tone would be OK, depending on how fussy you want to get. The 500K's will better suit the humbucker, but if the single coil bridge is too bright you can just roll the tone off a bit... it's easy to get rid of treble but hard to get it back. You can always go to smaller values later if you really need it.

    For the tone cap, it's very much personal preference. 0.047uF caps are genrally used for single coils and 0.022 for humbuckers, but in many cases 0.022's are used for both and would be my starting point.

    Thanks for reply WeirdBits, appreciated

    Guess i'll give it a go with the 500's and the green cap i already got, i'm still learning as i go, first time i built any kind of guitar and never done any electronics. All good experience at this point. might start lookin for some more bits as a fallback plan, ie some 250 pots and different caps. in hind sight probably should've look into the electronics side of things before i started routing pups.

    Also , i will have a few bits left over to pass on if anyone wants them. 1 HB - 1 tele neck pup - 4 500k pups - green cap
