Disconnect the volume pot from the neck pickup and attach a cable to an amp directly (crocodile clips or whatever). That allows you to...

On the ground side as well as on the hot side, a reason* for a bad wiring to thin out the tone would be that something in this wiring...

OK, thx for the infos. 9.5k doesn't appear to me as low in this case. The wiring with White = hot and green = ground is functionally...

Well, at least you can lower it to make the sound less thin. ;-) More seriously: try to measure DCR from the output jack. If resistance...

What are you asking exactly? :-) Anyway: "questionnable" soldering job aside, the bridge PU seems to be wired normally for a Gibson...

OOP wiring of the JB? It's a current solution with 2 HB LP type guitars. Or a series capacitor to make the neck PU tighter. If you...

Bring beer. Oops. You're in Italy. Bring wine. :cool:

To answer to the original question: the effect of pots resistance on resonant peaks is well documented and can be seen on many graphs...

You can simulate a 250k volume pot (when it is full open) by using crocodile clips and put another 500k resistor across the outer lugs...

Like its tone, the output of a passive pickup is variable by essence since it depends on the resistive and capacitive load of the...

I have split a PGn and found ity to be the Strattiest split humbucker I have ever used. Very Nile Rodgers sounding. In humbucking mode I...

The switch would only allow 2 pickups at the most to be split at once. But honestly, you won't gain much tone-wise by splitting the 2...

If we start to talk about experience and "must-know" 's, there will be a lot to say... How many realize that multiple pickups ALWAYS...

The best tools for setting pickups height are our ears, IME (and a screwdriver, of course).

I don't set pickups to a standard height. It makes sense as a "setup" step if you're a manufacturer striving for consistency in the...
