I did a little experiment.
I changed out the single coil bridge pup in my Strat a few months ago for a Pearly Gates. Being the lazy man that I am, I left the 250K pot in there.
I have heard that the PG has a lot of top end and can be bright, so 250K....well...with all of the 250/500K controversy here of late....I purchased a CTS 500K pot for the bridge pup....and.....
It is awesome with a 500K! I liked the 250K alright...yet it didn't jive as well with the middle and neck pup as much as I would like...a little woofy it was.
The 500K opened it up and turned it into a rock and roll machine and the bonus is that with a little twist or the tone knob I can get virtually the same tone as with the 250K pot.
I love the articulation that the 500K brought to it....
