Hi everyone,
I've recently acquired a Les Paul Jr.
I plan to put in a supermassive 90 but I'm wondering about the volume pot to go with (I don't like the response of the stock one).
Any advice on which value to choose? I would rather put a 500K given the spec of the pickup in order to keep the bright well balanced with the bottom end....
Thanks in advance guys
-
500k would be standard with a P-90, even though it's a single-coil pickup.
I believe vintage Juniors often had 500k volume and 250k tone, but nowadays they probably just use 500k for both.
(Welcome to the forum, by the way! :D )
-
Thanks for the answer and the welcome! :D
I'll toss a coin to choose between standard 500k pot and the BKP 550K 8)
The last two Gibson I bought (a LP traditional and a LP Jr) came with 300K linear for volume and 500K audio for tone.
-
Apparently the BKP 550k pots are very good, but I haven't tried them yet.
You're right, I think Gibson use that 300k/500k setup on most guitars now. I haven't bothered to look what's in mine (and one is a semi, so I'm not going to try to take the pots out! :lol: )
What Junior have you got, by the way? Singlecut or doublecut? I'm a big fan of Jrs. :D

This.
I am also a huge fan of juniors and I plan getting one as my next purchase and also fitting it with a super massive 90.

I got singlecut in Pelham blue.
For me it's a pure r'n'r machine 8)

Dude! That's exactly what I want! Pelham Blue is beast and I've already got way to many sunburst guitars.

Cool colour choice. :)

right thats it, the toys are out of the pram, I don't know you and already don't like you :wink: :lol:
I've been GASing for a Pelham LP jr for ages, but I'm poorer than a church mouse that's just had an enormous tax bill on the very day his wife ran off with another mouse; taking all the cheese.

I think that colour looks amazing on a Junior. Very tempting to buy one.
