APB-1 Wiring with NO Tone Pot

Hello kind members. Thank you for having me aboard.
I would like to wire an active APB1 P Bass pickup > Volume Pot > Output (no tone pot).
Would I wire it as in the diagram provided and just bypass/eliminate the Tone Pot? Should I ground the bridge to the Volume Pot or something else, or just leave it ungrounded? Thanks all for reading this.

Welcome to the forum!

Yes, omit the tone pot while leaving the rest the same. And ground the bridge to the volume pot back.

Thanks! One more question for you, or someone, if I may.
The APB1's I ordered from Seymour Duncan came with 100k pots. Since I am trying to emulate Dug Pinnick's signal (more or less) the Schecter Dug Bass has a 25k (Vol) pot wired (no tone) to output. Do you think there will be a noticeable difference in tone or volume taper with 100k vs 25k wired with no tone? Thanks again!
