Phat cat magnet question

[Clint 55]

What would be a good starting point in resistor value for the bridge Phat Cat, I don't think I will need a lot of roll off.

A 500k resistor is good if you don't want a severe roll off. It simulates a 250k pot. Here's a parallel resistance calculator if you want to examine values.

I want to clarify, both the resistor and the tone pot will affect both the neck and bridge, when the N&B are both selected. There's no way, (with conventional guitar wiring), to isolate one from the other. Other than turning the neck pup off.

i have a few guitars where the tone is only on the bridge pup, and it works well to keep the neck bright and open but give a bit of a darker bridge tone with the ability to roll off high end. id does effect the middle position, but ive never found that to be a problem

I'd be curious to see how you have that wired. Always like to learn something new.

on the hamer monaco, there are three controls so thats easy. on the tele i just wired the tone to the bridge pup switch connection
