If you're building I'd be surprised if you didn't already have this link, but here it is anyway. Stew-mac.com

Lots of great info and material there, and wonderful people to deal with. I'm not really knowledgable about the electronics, but I think the .47 mf cap is pretty much industry standard for tone control.
