What are good Cap values for treble bleed on Jaguars?

lop668

Hi there,

Its been 6 months since i got my beautiful Jag and i'm really happy with its overall sound, well, kind of...

I planned on doing a treble bleed when i first got it because i was having some trouble with the volume pot cutting the high freq completely when rolling back the volume.

I later decided just to keep the guitar as it is and got used to the tone you get when decreasing the volume, but in fact, i'm still not completely happy, deep inside of my soul. 😎

So the questions are:

What are good Cap values for a decent treble bleed that wont alter the tone of the guitar and will keep the brightness of it when rolling the volume off ?

Should I use a resistor? how does it affect to the overall sound of the guitar?

Thanks for your help!

Im no expert but i'd probably try some different value Caps, 'pot hacking' changing the value. Or better still upgrade the pots if its a CIJ model, they are'nt great and 1meg is too much imo. I cant imagine a resistor would do anything.
