I just bought a guitar ( from : localhost/
with a hot rails in neck and a Parallel axis trembucker bridge.
They sound very damn good but I would like to add a little highs to the sound cause my ampliflier is kind of VERY BASSY. What tone and volume pots should i Use?? How pickup height can exactly affect the tone (gain and EQ). ???
Can you not just turn the bass EQ on your amp down, and your tone on the guitar up?
haahhaha I already do it... just thinking about the pickup sound... people told me they sound different with different pots..thanks anyway
If you go to higher resistance pots higher frequencys will pass through. You could just keep on replace your pots till you find the kind you want.
A 1 meg volume pot would help somewhat
how bout a EQ?
Check your volume and tone pots and if they are 250K or 300K then replace them with 500K pots. Check to see where your tone control is connected. If it is connected to the same terminal of the volume pot as the output of the switch or the pickups are, then move it to the terminal that feeds the output jack (usually the middle terminal) or just connect the tone control to the output jack.

I've found that the Fender No-Load tone pot works great for adding highs.
I've gotten very used to using it for the neck position on my strat, just to add a hint of extra shimmer.
Its not exactly like taking the highest band of an EQ pedal and sliding it up 12db...
...but its more like if your tone pot went to 11 or 12, instead of 10.
I've found that the taper-swell on 1-meg pots wasnt all that smooth (but perhaps I bought the wrong taper)
my 2 cents...
