I plan to put new pickups in an older Mexi Strat. I've settled on JB in the bridge, Quarter Pounders neck and middle.
On my other JB equipped guitars I use 500k pots and like how they sound but none have a single coil in them. With the neck and middle pickups being single coil, I'm not sure if I should still stick with 500k pot. I definitely don't want a muddy tone but I also don't want my single coils to be overly bright.
I've also read I could put a resistor on the switch so when either of the single coils are selected they will 'see' 250k. Is this true? How do I do that?
Any suggestions?
Also, I do a fair bit of volume roll off/clean up. Do I want linear taper or Audio taper? It seems I'd want audio but I'm not really up on what's what.
Thanks for your help.
