Toby,

That are infact the only differences between the two models. Modding the 
effect for a bass-model just improves the tracking towards the lower 
notes. If you use the effect mostly for the lower notes, then go for it. 
If you however play more in the higher registers don't change it. It's 
easy as that.

For the bass-mod you can just replace the caps. No recalibration nessesary.

When you open it, be carefull when you re-mount the jacks. I had the 
problem that the effect worked as long as the backplate was open, but 
when I closed the housing I heared nothing. Problem was, that the signal 
terminal of the jack shorted to ground over the chasis as soon as I 
plugged a cable in.
