c-5 & fat strat question (more of a wood/magnet issue)

[drew_half_empty]

well, in attempt to give my bridge humbucker (soon to be a c-5) more warmth, because from what i've read, alder bodied maple necked guitars & alnico 5 mags produce an overly bright tone, well, which of the following would give it the most -PAF in basswood- kinda feel

connecting the c-5 to 250k tone & volume pots
graphtec nut
warmer strings (dr medium probably)

or, well, anything else you'd suggest?

I'm not asking for exact, but, well, close

id try it with the 250k pot and see how ya like it, if its not bright enough try it with no tone pot attached. i like the dr pure blues strings for a warmer sound too

i have played plenty of alder/maple guitars with alnico V magnet pups they sounded very good...not overly bright at all.
