Who uses 250k pots for the bridge humbucker?

[Dr.K]

That describes me. Don't want to have to adjust my tone pots; only do in rare situations. Jeremy here once estimated 80 or 90% of players never touch their tone pots. Once I get the PU's EQ'd together, then all I have to is adjust the amp EQ to fit the venue/room. Both PU's will sound good.

If I have a 3 pot guitar, I make a bridge volume and tone (250K) and a neck volume (500K) with no tone.

For a 2 pot guitar, I do the same, but wrap the bridge tone pot in plastic and put it inside the control cavity, so I get the warmth of two 250K's. Can't adjust the tone pot, but I almost never do that anyways.

I'm curious why you don't just use a resistor in the cavity?

I'm surprised so many of you don't like the tone pots. They're one of my best friends.
My 3 guitars sounds so different, I just need them. And I like them, too.

if you have any 500k or 470k resistors lying around you could hook one up from the hot wire on your pickup to ground, this will mimic a 250k pot. just to see if you like it.

Good idea, but that eliminates the need to buy a new toy so I won't be trying it What can I say, I'm just looking for an excuse to use the liberator at this point

I only adjust my tone knob when I am in the process of experimenting with pup height. If it's too bright I'll dial it out during the song and after words I'll tweak pup height. I have a noload pot so its basically not there on ten

I've only used a 250k put with a Gibson Tony Iommi. It sounded AWFUL.
