[hookys6stringbass]

I'm about to make a wiring harness for the Hondo, got all the parts. But the capacitors look abit small, i thought they were bigger than that- will these work??




here's the page I ordered them from.... should I have gone for something else???? [url="http://www.axesrus.com/axeknobs.htm#switch"]Axerus[/url]

You will be fine - theres lots of different constructions and sizes from ceramic thru mylar and poly film, different sizes but do the same job (but not on total power rating - since this is passive and the pups punch out a tiny current its not a concern). If you browse on the Guitar Nutz forum where the electronics gurus hang out you can spend a year discussing the merits of differnt cap construction on the tonal qualities imparted. these tiny ceramics tend to be cheap and less accurate in value, maybe +/- 10% of stated value rather than the bigger mylar or orange drops (spragues) which I think are more like +/- 5%. Stick em all on your tone pot and turn the knob - it goes bassier. Hurrah!
