Removing a blue capacitor from Musicmaster bass

Once again resurrecting this thread...
So, to get this straight, the Brown(.05) cap is replaced with the Orange(.047) cap, and the general consensus is to remove the Blue(.02) capacitor completely [in addition to swapping the brown with orange]?


Also: 500k pot for volume and 250k pot for tone? Or should both be 250k?

Thanks...

i doubt you would be able to hear a difference between a .05µf and a .047µf cap, not to mention the fact that .003µf is within most manufactures margin of error. I would say save some dough and just clip the .022µf cap off. capacitance is capacitance whether the component is brown, orange, oil and paper, or ceramic, capacitance is still capacitance.
