P bass wiring diagram: please check

About to wire in some Fender 'original '62 bass pickup' reissues. The diagram with the pups is:




Close up:



So to my eyes the cap is going lug-to-lug between the volume and tone pots. I've only seen the cap go from lug to tone pot top (and ground) - so is the diagram correct? Stewmac also has a lug-to-lug cap, but additionally has the cap soldered to the vol pot top to ground, and uses different lugs:



I think there's a mistake in this one too - white is hot and black is ground, according to the [url="http://www.stewmac.com/How-To/Online_Resources/Learn_About_Guitar_Pickups_and_Electronics_and_Wiring/Wiring_Kit_for_P-Bass.html"]text [/url], so surely the connections from the lower two lugs from V in the diagram should be white?

All advice much appreciated!

The top diagram - Fender '62 pick ups is fine.

The SM drawing has the 2 wires from the volume pot shown in black - as you say they should be white! Also SM show no earth to the tone pot body, which is wrong IMO.

Meddle has it right ^^ in both posts ^^
