Add a resistor with the same value as the tone pot you are taking out between the hot signal from the switch and ground.

EDIT: thanks to Marcel for catching my goof! You definitely need to put the existing tone cap in series with the resistor

Yeah you have to replace the tone pot (for example 500K) with a 500K resistor. Beause the pot has 500k when it's on 10.
I like to simply use no tone cicuit at all. It gives you a bit more highs.RG 550 [JB | SingleSizedHole(TM) | V1 (to be replaced)]

it shouldn't add hum. I just disconnect the hot lead going to the tone pot direct at the tone pot and it did not add hum though i tihnk it's not the best way to disconnect it because: now there is a peace of lead without any use.... it think i have too fix this some day
maybe you disconnect something that should going to ground?RG 550 [JB | SingleSizedHole(TM) | V1 (to be replaced)]
