The 300K pot will work just fine.

A 500k will work just fine too. RIC used to use 500k for tone pots, 250k for volume. They went to 330k because it's easier and cheaper to stock just one value. This gives you a hint that the value is not super critical. If you're really concerned though, you can always put a 1Meg ohm resistor across the ends of a 500k pot and you'll get 333k...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...
