JB sounds really bright, anyway to adjust this?

[ThriceDeadbolt86]

Pretty much what the topic says, the bright sound is not bad at all except when you are doing rhythm parts, and its way too bright and needs to be a little bassier...i can turn the bass on my amp up all the way and it's still bright..

What size pot's are you using? Do you have a tone pot connected?

Turn down your tone pot.

I sometimes turn my volume down to 8-9 just to bleed a bit of edge off the pickups.

I have found that a good compromise is the use of 250k volume pots with a disconnected tone control to prevent what some call a "choking" of the humbuckers when combined with the lower volume pot values.

This works well for me with the Jazz, Custom, and Hot Rails.

By lowing down the tone knob a little bit you can cut the treble frequency...

try giving less mids on your amp.. tone knob and volume knob are also helpful
