if you highpass the neck PU, it will automatically appear brighter. if its still not bright enough you can use 1 MEG pots or remove the the tone for the neck.Would you say you could play distorted power chords on it, in the neck pos, high gain? I want no mud/mush, and clarity with high gain. I like the jazz, it and basically, the EMG-81 are the only things that can pull this off. Have not tried a full shred, but that’s next. Anyway so the jazz pretty well does what I want, but if I wanted…more, so less bass and more treble bite, would swapping the jazz with a ceramic get me there? Sounds like maybe, like It’s worth a few bucks to try,
THE EMG81 is highpassed internally, too. that's why it's so tight.
the series cap Value depends on the Pickup, your pot values and amp input. so it's hard to say.
i had guitars where i didn't hear a difference with 15n in series. so 10n, 6,8n and 4,7n are a good starting point. (10n has less bass cut than 4,7n).
that reminds me, i have a full shred neck laying around but never really tried it.
BKP riffRaff is also in the bright and tight realm. a t-top clone will also be less "beafy" than the jazz
