Hi Nicolas; perhaps if you posted some pics of the problem, somebody here might be able to help identify which wires need to be soldered where.

For the year of your Signature bass, there is no board that the pot mounts on. Here's a diagram of what you need to do when you get the replacement pot:

As you can see, they came off in order - so it should be easy to navigate.  
 
The terminals of the pot are probably still on the end of the wires I have labelled. You should not have them in the wiring when you reattach the terminals.  
 
Edwin will confirm with me tomorrow about the pan pot - I'll let you know.

Also, check that the nuts on the filter pots are not loose. Just make sure you know how to  remove the knobs (http://club.alembic.com/index.php?topic=217) so you don't damage the pots.  
 
It's probably a good idea to check the screws holding the straplocks in for the same reason. Over time the wood cells will compress slightly under pressure. Anything that you want to stay firmly attached needs to be check periodically.
