SR800 Bass Help

Just bought an Ibanez SR800 Bass I'm looking for some info. And Help. It's a 98 and has EMGs, also one of the concentric pots has the top broken off. My questions are as follows.

Did these ship with EMGs

I'm trying to figure out what each of the controls do but haven't been able to locate anything that identifies the controls. Anyone know the control layout?

I've never replaced an active concentric pot is it more difficult than a passive pot in a guitar?

Where do I find the correct replacement pot, Ibanez site or EMG site?

That looks like the stock stacked pot. You can buy those from Ibanez/Hoshino.

(EDIT: That looks like it may be the mid pot, which I don't see on that page. But if it happens to be the bass/treble one on yours, you should be good)
 
It looks like the original wiring, pots but EMG presonus pickups. Think I'm going not to take to local shop to have pot replaced. A lot more wire in there with the active system than I'm used to with a passive system.
