Anybody have a set of Burstbucker Pros with Bumblebee caps? I'm trying to figure out if it will sound good before I order and install. Also, what other caps sound good with the BB Pros? I'm looking for a melow rock/classic rock sound. Thanks!

I don't know about BB's but I replaced the small ceramic disk .02's with these old salvaged caps and noticed a BIG change in how well the tone controls worked, and how much richer my '98 R7 sounded. The Astrons were used in '50's Fender Deluxe amps and the Sprague 160P were used in '60 LP standards. Oil and paper caps (BB)were used very early and are somthing else to try. I think Jensen makes a good repo.
