yep, i'm not too well up on the wiring of the things, but i know you want a treble bleed cap on your volume pots: http://www.wdmusic.co.uk/shop/products.php?category=168

bareknuckle might do them too (maybe they only do pots, I don't know).

Yeah.... got no idea what to do with that stuff :lol: I'll probably ask on UG sometime, some of the people there know what they are on about

^yeppers, the G B&C forum is the place to go, for some reason I mod it, despite not having a notion about modding gear, lol. You want Power Freak to answer, lol.

:D

I experianced a similar thing on my fender strat. loosing a lot of treble when turning the volume down + sound getting muddier and muddier, although this is common on all standard strats.

I came across a company in the US called griblin enineering who make custom wiring harnesses to their own design which feature a "treble retention" circuit which basically counteracts the treble loss when turning the volume down. So now when I back the volume off my guiar retains a sweet tone with no muddiness !

I've seen treble etention circuits advertised for humbucker type pickups too on the net, a few companies make custom wiring harnesses.

The wiring harness cost me $70 , and it had a few other none standard controls on it, it really transfomed my strat. and gives me loads more tones.

$70 is pretty expensive but it could be worth it though.. isnt that the same kinda thing as the treble bleed mod though?

I found this in the Hot Rod Parts bit:

"
Treble Kit........................................................................................... $.99

Tired of losing all your highs when you turn down your volume control? This simple kit eliminates the problem and allows you to select how much top end you want to retain. Works on guitars and volume pedals. Every guitar should have this.
"

Really cheap as I guess its just a few capacitors and stuff, with instructions? I'll email em actually

Try this EQ setting:

Bass: 8
Mid: 9
Treble: close to 10
Presence: 9.5 (exactly 3 o' clock)
Bright switch: on
