I have bought, from Axes R Us, the following:
- 2x CTS 250K linear pots (tone)
- 2x CTS 250K logarithmic pots (volume)
- 1 .47uf Sprague "Orange Drop" capacitor for the bridge tone control
- 1 .33uf Sprague "Orange Drop" capacitor for the neck tone control
- 1 three-way toggle switch
- 1 mono jack socket
- Various bits of wire
Basically the aim here is to replicate the actually not-too-bad sound of the original setup using better quality parts. I've also taken the decision to use a lower value cap for the neck tone control just to reduce the amount of mud a bit.
ETA: I've just taken measurement of the DC resistance of the stock pickups... the neck came in at 9.9Kohm and the bridge at 10.1Kohm. Not as much of a difference as expectations nor conventional wisdom demanded, but no biggie... I mean, twin P90s are often the same value the difference being made in how close they are to the strings.
