Hey guys. Right now, I have a Phat Cat bridge in my SG with the stock 500k pots (tone disconnected). I'm still using the 1000pf cap that I had on the volume pot when I was using humbuckers in the guitar, but with the Phat Cat, I'm getting WAY too much top end. I can EQ it out, but it makes it annoying to switch between this guitar and my other p-90 guitar, which is much darker. What cap could I try for the volume pot on the SG that would let me clean the sound up well as I turn the control down, but not be quite so bright? 800pf or something? THanks guys.

p.s. Should I consider switching to a 250k pot or something? What do you guys use?

by disconnecting the tone control you brighten up the sound. start trying lower values caps are cheap so it shouldnt be hard to experiment
i use 500k pots no treble bypass cap with my phat cat

I'd clip the bleeder/bright cap or remove it, make the tone pot functional again and do the 50's mod by soldering one end of a .02 tone capacitor to the middle terminal of the volume pot and the other end to the middle terminal of the tone pot.

Woah, this 50s mod sounds really interesting. What can I expect to hear if I do it? Thanks for your suggestions guys!
