C-5 with a 300k volume pot!!!!!

[papersoul]

Holy Cow! This is an amazing combination! I tried this and was blown away in my lP Standard. I love the stock Burstbucker Pros pickups but wanted something a touch fatter and hotter in the bridge while retaining a big, open sound with a vintage twist. It had to also retain the aggression the Burstbucker Pro bridge can dish out. I think this is it. I had tried the C-5 in the past with 500k volume pot in an LP and didn't like it because it seemd to thin out the tone a bit or take away some of the creaminess. The 300k seems to put the creaminess back while decreasing some of the upper mids. The low mids are nice and fat. I was afraid of going back to a medium-hot pickup for fear of losing that big, fat sweet tone of a PAF but somehow the C-5 retains that character.

Very cool....

Yup. I run my C5 with a 250k pot in a basswood body. Takes the "edge" off of it.
Makes it just like you say . . . "fat sweet tone."
