I'm getting a new axe, probably in December or so. It's likely to be mahogany bodied + arched maple cap, w/ maple or mahogany neck and an ebony fretboard. My Ibanez has an extremely fat sometimes bassy tone in the bridge even though it's got a JB in the bridge. I'm not that dissapointed in the JB, but I wanted more brightness which was a characteristic I liked about the JB (it's a bit dark due to the axe). I like more highs than mids and bass. Now I've considered a Custom, but maybe I should grant the JB a second chance. What do you guys think? I play instrumental rock (a touch of shred), speed metal, but also jazz and funk. I need to be able to have chunky chords and articulate palm mutes, but very airy and open, present leads with mucho harmonics, and a nice clean tone would be excellent. The Custom has more bass and mids, so I'm very doubtful about it in this axe especially for my styles.
I'm also planning on disconnecting the tone-pot and replacing one or two pots with push-pull or push-push pots. I want push-push pots, but I don't know any internationally shipping store that sells them, do you guys know any?
Other than that I was planning on wiring both humbuckers to a master volume (push-push/pull) pot. The guitar will have a 3 way toggle, so if I engage the PP in the middle position, will I get the inner coils of both pick ups or something else?
Thanks!
