Wiring bass pickups, would appreciate some help.

Hey guys,
I'm trying to wire up some passive soapbars to a bass body I made. I'm looking at buying the SD Phase II Passive Soapbars.
Ideally I want just two volume knobs, one for each pickup independently, like in a Spector Euro (but much more simple), and zero tone knobs.

1. Does anybody know how to wire this or have a diagram?

2. Does it matter whether I use 250K or 500K pots, or is that all just about preference?

Any help would be legendary.
Thank you.

Your circuit is, effectively, that of the Fender Jazz Bass minus the tone pot.

The one thing missing from the illustration in post #2 is a grounding wire from the bridge.

Using a TRS jack socket would retain the option to add active EQ at a later date.
