1st-gen '82 Cruisebass pots and wiring

[GriffithLea]

Does anyone know the original pot and cap values for these basses? I recently picked another one up (my collection is growing 😁 ) and it does not have the original pickups or pots. I know which pickups I like to use in these (DiMarzio Split P and Ultra Jazz Bridge) but I don't know which pots to get that would replicate the originals. I recall that the last time I had another '82 of mine open, which has the original Hamer-branded pots, I could not find any marking that would tell me (though I think I can get the cap value from it). I believe the new DiMarzios will come with a recommendation as well, IIRC, but I'd like to be armed with that info as well as what the originals would have been before I decide.

This will obviously be the usual 2-volume 1-tone wiring setup.

Two vols, one tone.

Pots are 500Kohm, log taper; although HAMER labelled, they are exactly the same as DiMarzio's pots.

The capacitor is a small, yellow cylinder-type, and 0.01MFD (µF).

That's in an early '83 Cruise, although I sure the same is in 82s.

Hope that helps.
