Connect strat bridge pup to tone control mod

Fez

I tried the add a wire to make the tone control on the bitsacaster but I don't like it so next string change it's going back. It seems to rob the bridge pup (Oil city hard man) of it's muscle.

I agree.

Leo had it right.

He sure did. The link is gone I disliked it so much that I didn't wait for next string change.

You use the ones on the amp.

Set it for your brightest lead sound with the bridge pickup, and everything else neatly falls into place.

The only thing I think needs to be changed is that the original cap value (0.1uF) is too large for the middle pickup if you like to roll it down a fair way. You can fix this easily by putting another one in series between the switch and the middle tone control, either another 0.1 (giving an effective .05uF, same as later old Strats) or a .033 (giving an effective .022, same as modern Strats).
