Sinner in the neck?
« on: June 27, 2010, 11:48:11 AM »
I've got a humbucker in the bridge position of my Strat and I've been looking to get something to better match it in the neck. I see Kaz has a Sinner for sale and wondered if the Sinner would work ok in the neck position?

If I remember right, the Sinner Kaz has is rated at 20k. Is that going to be complete over kill? would it sound too bright with 500k pots too?

it might be a bit too much (the 20k bridge version) i think. 500k pots are recommended for sinners though

I'd imagine that a 20k Sinner in the neck would be REALLY pokey, probably like having a Warpig bridge in the neck - thick and overdrives anything in sight.  Probably not the best for cleans.

I assume a 500K volume pot?

'Cause most Strats don't have a tone pot in the bridge.

More along that line:

Does anyone know whether they make a 250K/500K pot on one shaft, so I can hook up the Sinner to the 500K pot and the other single coils to the 250K pot?

Or is there a way to wire up a 250K pot so that it behaves like a 500K pot, but only for the bridge pickup?

i may just be being an idiot, but i think for that you could wire them up to the 250k pot, and put a 250k resistor between the pickup you want a higher resitance value for and the pot... though im not particuarly educated on these things :P
