G&L S style owners...

How many of you have kept the bright cap installed on the volume pot?

Do you even know it's there? I didn't, I was content to keep my treble knob low all the time. I never used the higher settings of the treble knob it was just too ice picky.

I was gonna change the pot to a 250k as it is a 500k and someone told me cut the bright cap off the volume pot.

Man what a difference this made in both my Comanche and my legacy.

No ice pick at the higher settings, and much better control.

Removed it off two ASAT's, I always wondered why it sounded so harsh with the tone all the way up. They always say treble bleeds are out of the circuit with volume on 10, but my ears told me otherwise. I may try a much smaller cap one day, but never another 2000pf.
