The tone pot will need a capacitor. Single coils are often matched with a 0.022uF cap, humbuckers with 0.047uF, but other values are fine. 

The other thing that is needed is a generous helping of mojo.

Thanks everybody. I appreciate the help. For the volume and tone pots is there anything I should make sure to get? When I did piezo it was suggested that 500k pots would be what to use. Not sure what I need for this. Also this was the pickup I was looking to get, is this a good choice or is there a better suggestion? I want to keep it kind of reasonable.

You can go with a 500K pot if that's what you already have. But a soap bar pickup is a single coil, which typically use 250K pots.

Great thanks guys. I need to get some so can get the 250k.
