Pots for strat

[Boleslaw Gers 666]

Which should I get? I can get 500k, 250k, or some mix, and I'm not sure which combo would be best. Maybe even 300K? I really don't know. But the pickups are going to be three humbuckers..... Custom Custom/Lil Screamin Demon/Jazz. Choose. And I really want them to sound like HUMBUCKERS.... not single coils. I want to bring out the full potential of the pickups.

It would really depend on how bright the Strat is, but if it's average to kind of beefy for a Strat, 500k (and make sure they're REALLY 500k -- often they're only 400 to 450).

Re: Pots for strat

go with the 500. if its too bright, you can turn it down, but if you get the 250's, there might be a substantial treble loss, and you cant turn it past 10.
