Have new guitar with Seth Lovers - Question

Re: Have new guitar with Seth Lovers - Question

Thank you for those who have tried to interject physics into the discussion. A subjective perception is valid to a point but doesn't change the reality of what is happening electronically. When I do crossover design the same principles are involved. However.... It has nothing to do with my issue which is that the neck pickup doesn't work on this guitar, no matter what I do. You guys feel free to continue the discussion while I try to figure out my solution. Thanks to those who reminded me to try adjust PU height (duh). It did help somewhat but not enough. I may end up mixing models in this one.

Well you can use a TBX tone control which can roll off treble or bass; or only a bass cut knob. You can also remove the cover and/or change the magnet.

You could cut the fillister screws at the baseplate.

AlexR, Clint55, and op,
As reader of this post, I just wish to say - when I went to a 1meg pot from a 500K, there was SO MUCH treble added that
for me, it was unusable. There was so much TREBLE ADDED that THE BASS COULD HAVE BEEN LOUDER AND I WOULD NOT HAVE HEARD IT. I am not yelling, just big letters to make a point.
My PERCHIEVED POINT.

Haha! Me too. The only thing I'm liking 1 meg for is my bass.

I've always been told that the higher the pot value, the more treble and the higher the cap value, the more bass essentially. For the OP (using this logic) I would suggest a smaller cap value (maybe .15) and/or a higher pot value for the neck, as well as lowering the neck pup's bass end.
