darkside08 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I have 500k tone and volume pots and .022 caps on both tones. I like the sound of my bridge pickup, but my neck pickup is too muddy, even at full tone. Short of changing the pickup, what would be the next cheapest step to making the neck pup tone brighter, change the cap? or the pot? and to what?

TWANG Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 the two most common things are switch to 1M pot or change cap to lower value.. .015 or .010. the lower you go with cap, the more treble you get. I think that would be preferable, as I think that while a 1M pot will open up your neck pickup, the increase in signal may make it a hassle to balance with the bridge. So the best thing there would be two 1M pots.. but then you're back to having the bridge be somewhat brighter, too, and you already like that. tWANG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkside08 Posted January 25, 2009 Author Share Posted January 25, 2009 Thanks Twang. I dropped in a .010 µF cap from Rad Shack, and it has made an improvement, but I may experiment with other lower values. At least now I know what the variable is in this equation.
