    500k pots are recommended for use with most humbuckers. I even run 500k pots with the lil59s and the Hot Stacks.

      500k pots are fantastic. They bring out more punch and defenition to your tone. Really a must IMO.

        I don't recommend use of 500k pots with the JB- its tone was too bright in my opinion, not round enough. I'm in the process of switching out my 500k for 250k pots.

          I have 500k pots and IMHO it does sound great. I get the full tone I am looking for and if its too bright I just kick of the mid and treb. I just install my SD's and I am loving the tone. Just my 2 cents.
          Live long, play hard, enjoy life.

            which pots would be better recommended for a duncan distortion
            (bridge model).

              Try 500-kohm potentiometers. If you don't like the sound, then use a 500-kohm loading resistor to effectively lower the resistance of the 500-kohm potentiometer to 250 kohm. Then if you find you prefer the sound with 250-kohm potentiometers, buy and install genuine 250-kohm potentiometers later on.

                  The JB is only bright through certain amps. Through both my JCM 800 and my Mesa rack the JB in a Strat with 500k pots is perfect.

                  Definately 500k with the DD.
