DAS44 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Decided not to hijack that other thread. What do you need to make a treble bleed (or do they come whole?)? How much would it cost to buy and assemble do you think? I'm really running on no knowledge on the subject. I'm sick of losing high end as I turn it down, I play a lot late (think 2AM) at night so I need it low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepblue Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I had my whole pickguard pre wired at Rothstein Guitars. So I had requested it, and they did it for me. Heres the diagram they used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Is this for your Strat or the LP? Not that it really makes a difference just curious. Are you handy with soldering? If not I suggest you take your guitar in. The most I've done is changing a pickup in my SG. It was pretty simple but I did a messy job. Everything works perfectly. There are no problems but when you open up that cavity you know there was some real amatuer work. You don't want that on your brand new baby!

FirstMeasure Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I went the cheap route with mine. About $2.00 at Radio Shack for a .001uf Cap and a 220k Resistor, then I wired them in Parallel. You can wire them in Series and use different values. I found This Article very helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I don't think I'll ever try doing that. That's a little over my head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirstMeasure Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 It's a little scary at first, and I had to do it twice. The first try was a mess and there was no signal going to the amp. Good thing I got a few Caps and Resistors. The second time I trimmed everything closer and made sure all the wires were tight in the pot terminals and Bango, done. Works like a charm, I get a nice singing tone that keeps it's Strat "Bell" Tone at any volume. And Volume swells are way more fun. Certainly not my first Soldering Job, Here's my first soldering job.... Not the neatest, but it does what it's supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAS44 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 I'm don't even own a solder gun, I'd get it professionally done. I'd be doing it on the strat first, if it works well on that the LP might follow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzboy Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Treble bleed is only good when you are using Modern wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAS44 Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 me too! lol....I cant do this stuff and dont even try. It's not as much of an inability for me, as a lack of trusting myself with tinkering with my guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So when I wanted to mod the wiring on my LP I did it myself. But it is messy. Or....at least not as clean as Gibsons :- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
