Stiffy Posted May 25, 2013 Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 All that wiring is such a mess. My friend was not listening and pot wont turn down. The pots are 500k. After I installed the p90 sized dimarzio super distortion in. It sounded powerful, but bought a 1 meg volume pot. I can go 1-10 but dose not have the power. It actually sounds 50% less sustain and loudness than the 500k pot in the bridge. I did install 500k in the strat it sounds way better than the 250k. 1-2 meg for humpbucker is that just going backwards vs 500k. I have used both torress and guitar fetish pots.

Stiffy Posted May 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2013 oh yeah I forgot something. I think the 1 meg with a resistor and compasitor in the tone pot might be ok at 1-2 megs. Probably not for volume pot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 Uhh. Where did this thread start? You know something we don't! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 27, 2013 Report Share Posted May 27, 2013 I suspect he is trying to relay his experience,and that this is his own topic...but that he is about as incoherent as he can be. I "think" he is recommending against 1 meg pots...I would suspect "powerful" means trebly...but I am also not sure what he is talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiffy Posted May 28, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 1-2 megs volume pots sux, but pot with compaciter and resister for tone pot supposedly good with good with hi-output passive pup. Westheman please leave those goats alone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted May 28, 2013 Report Share Posted May 28, 2013 I have a hard time believing that you are actually genuine with your queries. Familiarity and humour is fine however you come across like a bit of an idiot. By all means prove me incorrect, please. A lot of very capable people give their time freely to help out so do respect that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiffy Posted May 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Just because you have prostate problem, does not give you the right to insult other members. If you don't have the answer please just go away.I Posted about an electronic issue. You need go to a different forum. Westheman got it.

KeithHowell Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I am finding this threads comments by "Stiffy" more and more objectionable as well as incoherent! If English is not your native language then please say so. We then might be able to help you but you are coming across as a complete moron who looks like they are just trying to cause trouble.

Stiffy Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 All warning points bogus. The 1st warning point 2005 reason other.2 warning points abusive behavior. Abusive behavior really? I post something to see if anybody knows the pot thing. You're not mod worthy. Read the entire thread all I got trolled by you and other member(s)I crack pretty harmless joke in return and I'm like some kind of monster. Please all I want is feed back on the pots. I'm not playing any games if you don't have the answer to my thread why bother posting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prostheta Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 It should be immediately obvious that posting obvious attempts at insults towards site staff is against the guidelines on board conduct, if not being complete total idiocy.

And your original post did NOT have that question. It was a statement that you "used" them. As pros said, make the choice based on what you have observed. It is all opinion. Not "it will or wont work". It will all "work". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
