You have to widen the hole if it has not already been, for any full sized pot.
I would get a 500k too, just incase you don't like the 1 meg. But the DA8 should pair well with a 1 meg.
Don't know how good you are with the iron, but don't overheat the back trying to ground everything there. I always run a wire off the back, and ground stuff to it, not the pot.
Thanks for all of your great help!

Here are some very unscientific tone recordings, played over Meshuggah's Pravus.
Please excuse the sloppy playing.
