    Mag swap or New pot?

    I know this is going around here a lot lately. But I need a little more fullness out of my guitar. I have a JB. SHould I put in a 250K pot or change the mag to an A2? OR????

    The pot is a quick and easy fix so I'd try that before the magnet swap..The lower resistance pot will give you fullness and it might darken your tone a bit and change your taper..It might be perfect for you?

      Thanks I will try it today or tomorrow.
      What about a CC? I still want ball ripping tone and harmonic ease. Would it work?

        I Changed the pot to a 250K. It does take away some of that shrillness. It really helped the single coil pup as well. Now I am going to raise my strings a bit and enjoy my toy.
