Gibson uses 500k and .022uF caps for their Humbuckers. However! You can 'tune' it to your ear if you desire. For example, .047uF (Fender) caps will kill more high's when you start backing off the tone, while .022uF caps will keep the highs 'brighter' until you back off toward the end of the pot. There's a few writeups out there on the web about pots and caps, but it really comes down to how you want to tune your sound and controls. I'm kinda in the same boat as yourself... in fact, I just came home from "Radio Shack" with two .022's (272-1066) and two .047's (227-1068). @ $1.49 per package of two, I might as well try em both!

Deftone Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 I remember reading a post on the old forum on this topic. Someone has made some hot rodded caps that supposedly kick a$$. I'd search the web for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deftone Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 How about trying a 500T pickup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakatone Posted February 10, 2008 Author Share Posted February 10, 2008 How about trying a 500T pickup? i thought about it but i think that it´s to hot for the kind of music i play....although,never really tried it.my studio has burstbuckers V,so i guess they should be treble-ish enough....for starters,i´ll go with electronics...but thanks for the advice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
