The Bass Doc Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 0.047 is correct for early 60's and most re-issue and reproduction models but Fender themselves used 0.022 from the late 60's into the 70's (less treble bled to earth as you turn the pot anti-clockwise) - at the cost of cappies, try one of each.

The Bass Doc Posted February 17, 2009 Share Posted February 17, 2009 Forgot to mention that to be completely accurate Fender used 0.05 value capacitors but 0.047 is more readily available and you would not be able to hear any difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go for 0.22uF also with 250k pots and single coil jazz pups Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
