Help w/ Blackouts

[brylord]

I just put a set of Blackouts in my Hill Custom shop guitar, it's Swamp Ash with a 24 fret Ebony Fretboard, Floyd etc....

I only have a volume knob since I never use a tone knob. The neck pu sounds really good but the Bridge seems a little too bright and it seems to be lacking in the lowend chunk....

Since I'm not using a tone knob should I be using a different value volume pot?

Should be using the pot that came with the kit...25k I believe? And the bridge BO should be chunk heaven.

3 way PuP selector? Double check all the wiring. Look here:

You don't have to use an actual pot to simulate a tone pot at a fixed position.

To get the same sound that you would get with a 25 Kohm pot at "10" just use a 25 Kohm resistor in parallel to the capacitor. You could also put a little trimmer pot inside your guitar for one-time adjustment.
