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 resistorLast edited by Fresh_Start; 03-15-2004, 10:46 PM.Heritage 535 Special, Warmoth frankenstrat, MIM Strat, & Taylor 314C(no E)

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)]
