Help me out with some wiring?

I recently picked up this bass from my buddy. He never played it, and just gave it to me. It has some wires dis connected though. I'm ok with a soldering iron, but not on what needs to go where. It's a Washburn XB100. I'm having trouble finding a wiring schematic, and know this isn't really worth paying someone for the repair on a bass that costs this much.

In case the images are unclear, the red wire which is coming from what I believe is the tone knob is disconnected, and the grey wire which I'm assuming leads to the input jack is disconnected. I'm not sure where I should be soldering these back on at. If anyone could help me out, you could make a bass player out of me yet!

Good evening deathoftheparty,

Here is the wiring diagram of the Taurus T-12 that got the same pups and pot configuration as in the XB-100, so use it and you'll be oK.

With some more looking, it seems that I have Seymour Duncan Performer pickups in here. I have figured out that the grey wire pictured goes to my output jack, but I'm still unsure of where the red wire should end up. I'm assuming it's the middle post on the tone knob, but just wanted to make sure before I ruined this thing for good?
