Stc-3p wiring for left handed bass

I'm building my first left handed bass for a friend of mine. I'm used to right handed.
Apart for running into some common mistakes like not reversing the template, filing the nut for righthanded etc, it was a normal build.
Until the electronics. My friend wanted a stc-3p with mm in the bridge and a jazz in the neck, well...why not.
The standard wiring is for righthanded players. Clockwise=more ccw= less.
For lefthanded it is visa versa. All the pots are lineair except the volume.
Can i just switch the outer lugs on the pots? And for the volume a reversed log?
Or is not that simple? If not, what is the proper wiring for lefthanded use with this pre-amp?

Btw: this is the bass...

Aren't the poles for those pickups flat? Is there a reason you flipped them upside down?

The mm isnt flat, the jazz is. And I figured that placi mng them like this the string order is exactly the same as in a righthanded set-up. And the wiring is easier this way.
