I’ve got some ideas to tame high end frequencies
No experience with this idea but in theory it should work. Put a resistor in parallel with the pot to lower the pot value (IE bleed off more highs) like the 500k vs 250k trick.
Experiment with cap voltage values. I’ve found that low voltage caps are darker than high voltage caps. Like 600v vs 25v.
Experiment with cap construction. I’ve found that film n foil caps are brighter than metallized film than ceramic disks.
Mess with the pickup inductance by putting a steel plate on the bottom of the pickup AKA the telecaster trick. (I’d try this one first because it’s pretty easy and reversible)
My guess is that the messing with filters will be frustrating because you could lose musical sensitivity. But that’s just a guess.
That said I read and tried something from an article I read from Satriani’s tech Gary*** about a circuit with a small inductor/transformer . I tried it but didn’t get an immediate effect and then got distracted. You might have more luck.
