bright CC?

[Iced Dragon]

Hi,

a couple of weeks ago I installed a CC and PG (neck) in my ESP Horizon (alder body with maple neck-through body). PG is very nice and warm (but a lot of bass!?) but the CC is somewhat disappointing. It's tight with enough of crunch for it's purposes I guess but it's very bright compared to the PG. I didn't have that impression listening to the soundclips on the SD site.
Could this be because of the 500k pots? (but then again, PG sounds full enough...)


thanks

I can't help you with your question, sorry, but I can tell you that the PG is usually the bright one and the CC usually the bassier one, hehe.

CC's are never bassy. I found the CC to be a little bright at times in my Warmoth VIP, but I put that down to the thick maple top.

Re: bright CC?

the CC is a midrange monster...it is not very bass heavy and IMO it is sometimes lacking in top end...I would assume that your guitar is simply VERY bright on it's own.

Yup, has to be the fact the guitar is very bright itself. My CC in an alder body is very smooth. Not bright at all.

If you find it bright, go to a 250K pot or tweak the settings on your amp first.
