Treble bleed for four lug, circuit-boarded pot?

I have a Godin Core p90 guitar. Loaded with a Seymour Duncan SP90-1 P90 neck pickup and a Seymour Duncan SP90-3 P90 bridge pickup. Love it, but rolling off any of the knobs below 7 muddles the tone to a point that's not really usable. I may eventually upgrade the pots, but wanted to try a treble bleed circuit first, especially because to install a full size pot would mean modifying the body.

The thing is, the pots are circuit boarded rather than soldered. AND they have four lugs. Any idea on where to instal a capacitor in such a circuit? I've attached some pics.IMG_2257.jpgIMG_2255.jpgIMG_2256.jpg

I will double-check, but I believe the principle is the same on this as well: the treble bleed should be connected to the {in +} and the {out +}.. Looks easy enough to clip a treble bleed on to the exposed wire on both of the red leads into the pcb and see if you like what happens..

I can’t comprehend both a positive and negative on both the in and out of the volume in a passively equipped guitar. Or is it not passive?

The two (-) terminals with the black wire are most likely connected together. IOW, they are both ground connections. Post #2 describes what I would do.
