So I had a friend over, and he brought his Les Paul Studio which has a 498T in the bridge position. We A/B'd with my Tribute which has a 500T, and we both liked the 500T's tighter low-end and higher output, but we both agreed that the 500T could get a little harsh at times. My Les Paul is running a single 500K volume pot. His Les Paul has the usual 4-knob layout, so his 498T is probably seeing two 500K pots. Maybe even 300?
Anyways, I wanna tame my 500T slightly, but I don't want to completely neuter it either. Not sure if I should go for a 250K pot, as IME, those have a tendency to do that to humbuckers, especially ones with DCR, or find another in-between value. I know they do make 300K pots too, right? Or is it 330? 350? Or I remember seeing 450K pots at some point too?
Or maybe I should add a resistor rather? If so, where?
Not sure how to proceed here.
