Hey guys.. I've got a DD in the bridge of my RG guitar.. I don't yet, but I will have.. ANyway, in the past I could clean it up almost if I turned it down almost all the way.. I thought maybe it wasn't as sensitive because the pot of that guitar was like 250k or something.. Maybe it was a 1/2meg.. I'm wondering if it would be easier to control the pickup with say a 1 meg or 2 meg volume pot? What's the benefit and what's the drawback? What can one do to not loose the treble when turning down the volume? I hate it when it gets muddy when you clean up the guitar with the volume knob too? I thought there was some kind of capacitor you can buy and hook up to the volume pot?

Ok, Also, what's a good neck pup that will have enough output in it yet be good with harmonics etc, and go with my DD bridge pup? I'm thinking maybe the 59? Hell, I don't know.. Please help.. hehe.. I also thought about a Dimarzio PAF pro?

Re: Volume Pot question, and neck pup?

Well, using higher Value Volume controls will brighten up the sound of your pickups...

The treble bleed mod you are describing can be made by putting a capacitor across the Volume pot from the lug where the pup goes in to the lug that goes to hot.

As the DD is a high output pup, I'd say the JB jr or Hot Rails would be a good match.
