Greasebucket Tone Control

[Dom L]

From the Fender Website
now being offered on the Hiway 1 Strat:

" Master Volume,
Tone 1. (Neck Pickup), Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit, (Rolls Off Highs without Adding Bass)
Tone 2. (Bridge Pickup), Greasebucket™ Tone Circuit, (Rolls Off Highs without Adding Bass)"

I thought all tone controls rolled off the highs without adding bass
What are we paying for here? :bsflag:
Not trying to start some stuff , because I love Fenders, but c'mon now
Does some one have one of these to dissect?

You are correct. Must be "marketing".

HA HA. Good point! Does anybody know if they've actually done anything new? They must have, surely? If they bothered to trademark it then they must have caught onto something.

Good detective work Dom L. Somebody has to keep them on their toes!

Ok if someone can prove me wrong...
I'll take my Strat out of retirement for one month and not play the PRS
I expect something good from Fender
maybe I'll go to the Fender Forum to investigate
