You should still get sound if the tone pot is broken. I burned out 2 pots with over exuberant soldering. Whilst I was waiting for new ones I fitted the 2 burnt ones for aesthetics so I coud fit the knobs. They were unconnected and I still got sound. In that situation, i think its like having the tone permanently at 10. Better caps will help, I went for sprague orange drops for a couple of quid and they are miles better than the stock Epi ones. So Q's should be a marked improvement.
If you do need a replacement pot(s) for the tone, I recently got CTS linear pots from allparts uk and they are great.
