    I just posted this in a different thread, but this site has some good passive controls that may appeal to you. I've used their varitone switches and love them: Click Here

    One mod I have done is to replace the tone pot with a varitone switch. It is a rotary switch that you use to select 5 different capacitors for various tonal cuts, plus one setting that is a true tone bypass. It is amazing what tones you can get out of the different cap settings. Some great jazzy sounds and mid scoops, and the true bypass is nice for the full tone of your pups. The guy at Stan Hinesley Pickups (formerly HAS sound) has some very nice passive mods including a varitone: Click Here

    I've put them in two of my builds, and I have to say that they are good for the money. They are NOT a boutique pickup by any stretch, but they do as good a job as some of my other, higher end factory jobs. I put a set of Dream 180s in a 3 P/U LPS thinline and wired them with three mini toggles so I can run any pup in any combination of single or double coils. They can pull off some good Strat and Tele tones when split, but still give you the guts of a Paul with both coils engaged. Plus I have a Varitone in the tone circuit, so I can pull off some nice jazzy tones as well. I'm big into splitting and phasing in my electronics and they've done very well in those situations.
