Question: given I can have 6 cap values, would there be merit in having one position with no cap? How would that affect the sound compared with a selector position with a cap where the pot on 10? That depends on what you mean by 'no cap'. If you mean an open circuit where the cap should be, the result would be a brighter tone since the treble-cut pot would no longer be loading the circuit. If you mean a direct connection between pot and ground, it would sound just about the same on 10, regardless of switch position. But as you rotate the knob CCW the tone would be quickly affected by the increased loading. Soon after, the volume would also be reduced until at zero, the volume would be killed. I like the first scenario! I shall probably incorporate that. I will still have 5 tone cap options available. It will mean that I can bypass the tone treble cut pot and effectively make it into a no-load pot with the click of that rotary switch, yes? It will also mean that I can use the rotary as a treble cut preset. I like this I will put a popular choice of tone cap value next to the no-cap position on the rotary switch. Regarding your grounds, the wire from the case of the tone pot to the output jack isn't necessary. It doesn't hurt anything but it doesn't accomplish anything either. Is this because of the purple wire I have between the output jack and the kill switch, which is achieving that same (grounding) purpose? Thanks

Latest revision below. I've made the alterations as recently discussed above.

Yes, but tape it off with electrical tape so that the buss doesn't contact anything else in the cavity.
