Thanks Nolly Q: )
so ill have to order that special 280K pot from the bkp store right?! The Guitar itself has routing for 1 pot and a 3 way blade strat switch. i disable most of my tone pots in all my guitars; Q: p
Sure, or if that's difficult, a regular 250k pot will work too. I think this will really help in all your guitars if you want to eliminate shrillness, since removing your tone pots from the circuit will make your pickups' resonant peaks much spikier (using a single 250k pot is equivalent to having 2 500k pots in the circuit).
For your RR, what do you dislike about the Nailbomb/Cold Sweat you have in there currently?
I tried them in E standard, when the guitar first arrived for me. now its on D standard.
In D , i havent tried any pickup , except a pair of dean time capsules that didnt match the guitar sound
In E standard, The nailbomb was too powerful, lots of outrput. and the cold sweat didnt match the guitars tone that well. I could use it, but i couldnt feel the Match.
The guitar itself is Bright, for my tastes.
Generally my complains are either that the guitar is too bright (most common), or that its too dark(almost doesnt happens, but these days, a bc rich villain veil and another one a dean ML79 and that are just hard to match a pickup set on it. ).
I usually dial in a lot of Mids , i open my highs a bit, and balance them with the bass . cause i dont want to loos the boldness and darkness of the bass, but i dont want to be buried in muddiness or get an acid Tone due to too much highs and mids.
I Thought that it would be the other way round with the pots. I thought that having a tone pot would make it brighter .
then ill get a 1 mega, 250, 280, 300, and the stock 500 k pots that i already have here(i have some 250 too from my fender) and ill experiment then.
THANKS
