Yes, you can use this with no problems. A 600V rating is extreme overkill for a guitar circuit where the voltages generated are rarely over a volt or so. You could use a cap with a lower voltage rating and be just fine. It would be smaller in size as well...
I have NO idea what to do with those skinny stringed things... I'm just a bass player...

It took a while for the Alpha 500K pot to arrive. I installed the P/P pot and the Orange Drop cap. It fitted with no problems. I just cut off the lip at the bottom and it was OK. Now I have both the capped and the uncapped sound from the HS pickup (happy me). Thank y'all for all the help provided :)
