just simply ask if you guys will keep using old vol/tone pots and cap or change it to a new CTS pots and something like phonebook cap for a used precision? I will be ready to take it for recording, should I ensure everything in clarity with new kits while old set still works?

Getting a 79 Precision, keep old vol/tone pots and cap or change new kits?

I thought new kits with quality cap would make it sound clear and better , sure I will keep the old sets as original value. but if it does nothing, I just stay original.
It makes no difference with these components in this application. The only thing that matters is tolerance. Most people that claim they can hear improvements hear them because the actual values differ from the ratings enough that it affects the behavior of the circuit.
Keep this bass original at all costs. It is not a real vintage piece but will maybe become one in years. The change in caps will do little to nothing. I only will change pots ,caps etc on a vintage bass if they go bad...on budget bass it is not an issue.
