Tell my i shouldn't do this. .

Put a high pass filter on both the volume and the tone pots? ? ?

EDIT: I meant to say the VOLUME and TONE.

Sorry

Why not? G&L has bass cut knobs on some of their guitars. I cut bass with an EQ pedal before the amp. If you want that functionality on your guitar, go for it.

Sounds like an easy thing to do. Some people don't like mids or lows. This is perfect.

 

[solspirit]

Thanks guys, I'll try it.

It's for a Squier, I like the mids & lows in the bridge so I'll only try it on the other tone pot.

Install a Fender TBX. It's a stacked pot that enables the player to cut highs or lows depending on which way you turn the knob. Only $15, too.

I'm interested to hear about the results.

However, I'm also equally interested in being sassy and following your post's title's request. DON'T DO IT!

Jump! Jump! Jump!
I mean do it! Do It! Do it!
Why not, could be interesting.

I wired up a regular tone control along with a bass roll-off in a guitar. Ended up not using it as much as I thought I would, and removed it - but maybe should have played more with cap values.

Yeah, I've got one of these thanks to Artie.

Bump for a reread.

my apologies I meant to say volume and tone pot.

Why not just turn the bass down on the amp?

I only want to do it on the neck pickup and I don't want to change the amp settings every time I switch pickups, that's what I'm doing now and I want to try and get away from that.

 

[alex1fly]

What's the result? Are you doing a bass cut control or trying some different caps?

I'd like to try some different caps anyway but the neck and middle pickups are way too bright.

I’ve got some ideas to tame high end frequencies

No experience with this idea but in theory it should work. Put a resistor in parallel with the pot to lower the pot value (IE bleed off more highs) like the 500k vs 250k trick.

Experiment with cap voltage values. I’ve found that low voltage caps are darker than high voltage caps. Like 600v vs 25v.

Experiment with cap construction. I’ve found that film n foil caps are brighter than metallized film than ceramic disks.

Mess with the pickup inductance by putting a steel plate on the bottom of the pickup AKA the telecaster trick. (I’d try this one first because it’s pretty easy and reversible)

My guess is that the messing with filters will be frustrating because you could lose musical sensitivity. But that’s just a guess.

That said I read and tried something from an article I read from Satriani’s tech Gary*** about a circuit with a small inductor/transformer . I tried it but didn’t get an immediate effect and then got distracted. You might have more luck.

I have treble bleed on several guitars
it does work and it does keep the signal from getting muddy as you turn down

I use the Mojo Tone one for $3 (Pro Tip: buy several, save shipping)
