rino Posted October 25, 2004 Report Share Posted October 25, 2004 I'm just about to put a Gibson 490R humbucker in this solid body mandolin I have. The humbucker is around 8 ohms. I'm using a 500K pot for the volume and another 500K pot for the tone with a .020 capacitor. Being that the mandolin is a high pitched instrument, I was wondering if anybody with more wiring experience would recommend using another sized pot and/or capacitor? Like a 250K pot or .047 capacitor. Or is using two 500K pots with a .020 capacitor good for this humbucker and mandolin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted October 26, 2004 Report Share Posted October 26, 2004 It should be fine - for that matter, you may find it isn't bright enough, but I doubt it. Start there, and adjust it only if you find it necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
