Li'l '59 with Fender Vintage Noiseless?

[bakerp]

Could anyone tell me if I can put a Li'l '59 in the bridge of my Strat with Fender Vintage Noiseless in the neck and mid positions?

The noiseless pick ups come with 1 meg pots. Will these affect the '59?

I'm not an expert in mixing or matching pickups, but I have a Fender Noiseless tele neck along with a SD Hot Rails in the bridge of one of my Teles. It worked without the 1 meg pots. I didn't know Fender recommends using them either, thanks for the heads up.

I bought a full set for my Strat and the 1 meg pots came with it.

The Vintage Noiseless will sound better with 500k pots than the lil59 will sound with 1m pots. I'd replace the VNs with SD Hot Stacks, but thats just something to think about.

Remember to wire the lil59 Green to the switch and black to ground to aviod a phase problem with the Fender pickups.
