I learned that volume pots should be logarithmic (also called audio taper) and tone pots should be linear. But I saw some threads where people say you should also use a logarithmic pot for tone controls. So I did some more research and came across the following vid:

Of course, it’s still a personal preference, but based on these findings I am definitely going for a logarithmic pot for both volume and tone on this bass.

Just wanted to share, great to see someone demonstrating different pots for different applications (his YouTube channel contains more interesting videos covering this topic).
