Nice one Naz, thanks for those links they look really useful. I will study them in my lunch-break. Will have a look at the pots also as I deffo remember seeing numbers printed on them, but can't remember what they are. Cheers.

the short and long yes. but there are diffent kinds of pots

for the most part you want 250k for single coil and 500k for humbuckers but as far as a tone and volume i try to use the exact same pot on a given guitar no matter what the value or if its audio tapper or lienier tapper.

Thanks for the help guys! From the info you've given me and the links in Naz's reply, I've worked out I have an audio and a linear pot. The audio is now fitted as a volume in my first CBG and although it seems I probably could use the linear one as volume also, I think I will save it to use as a tone in a future build. They are pretty cheap after-all!!
Thanks again guys, I knew I could rely on 'The Nation'.
