V125 Question

Hello, have a v125 lead top. Cool stuff - even if I personally prefer an AC50 over it....
But I want to switch it to a Bass amp (V125 Bass). Changes are easy, one in the EQ section, some things in the input section ...
There are 3 gain pots: sensitivity, volume and master.
NOW MY QUESTION:
The schematic for the bass input section shows a change of the sensitivity pot (moves to V1 cathode resistor) and the pot for sensitivity in the guitar model now becomes the volume pot. No problem to do this changes, but what becomes of the original (lead) volume pot? Will it be replaced by a fixed resistor?
Any hints? Anybody with a v125 bass around?
Regards,
c

I have the bass version (and I play bass, not guitar). I also repair tube amps. To convert you need to change the inductors (coils) associated with each EQ control. That would be a difficult few components to locate unless Vox has 'em available.
