I wonder if using a 250k pot instead of the 500k would tame it?

Theoretically, yes, but I would avoid a 250k pot with a humbucker.

True.I think I may go with the Rebel Yell.It seems to be along the lines of a much better sounding JB with a nice balance based on the soundclip I heard.I'll just have to unload the VH2 on Ebay.Thanks for the info guys.

Just remember: It may be your guitar, not the pickup, at fault!!

I'm thinking maybe the wiring is the culprit.What color lead goes to the switch? Which one to ground on the back of the pot?

I don't think it's the guitar because the Irish Tour in the neck has the most incredible tone I've heard in a long time.

Sounds like the bridge pup may be out of phase, then.

You know,I think a Nailbomb is what I'm after.What do you guys think? I do want to get heavy with this beauty too.

The Nailbomb is very versatile,great cleans and a great crunch rock tone.And of course does a superb high gain tone.

Do I order right from the site or do I have to use a USA dealer? I'm located in New York.

I think it would be quicker to order from the BK online store,it would save you trying to find a BK dealer in your area.

Told you a Nailbomb would be the one to go for ;)

I think the Nailbomb will be WAY too bright, if you think the VH2 is already bright.
