Hi guys,
I've recently upgraded the pickup on my P Bass to an EMG GZR, which I absolutely love. It sounds great with the tone wide open. One thing I really miss though, is being able to roll off a lot of those highs when I need to. For this reason I'd like to mess around with the tone circuit.
I've dabbled a little in electronics before, so understand it's an RC filter, but still can't work out exactly what I'd have to do to give that filter more range. I'd like to keep all the highs intact with the pot wide open, but have a much lower cutoff with it all the way down. Does this make sense?
Do I need to change the pot, the cap, or both?
Cheers
Edit:
In order for me to better understand how these work, could anybody tell me, roughly, what value a 250k pot should read when it's all the way open? Should it be very close to zero? In other words, the tone circuit is entirely bypassed?
