Vol. pot and tone pots for JB Jr.

[51501984]

I`m gonna put a JB jr. in the bridge of my Strat. I had a full size JB humbucker in another Strat with a 500k vol. pot and I liked the results. Would I want to go with the 500k pot with the JB jr. ? I wasn`t sure how the 500k pot would work out with a single coil size humbucker. If I upgrade to the 500k vol. pot do I need to upgrade the 250k tone pots to 500k?

250K or 500K work well. Robert S. says he prefers 500K. That's probably a good idea as the JB JR. bridge pickup sounded a little lacking in treble in my Strat and I'm sure 500K pots would've rectified that. The trade off is that 500K will also make your neck and middle pickups a little brighter too. Maybe not a bad thing...
