I didn't know Dime disconnected the tone pot in his guitars...............

I actually took out my volume knob too and just put a resistor to ground to emulate the load

Charvel did the same in the 70's.

This is what I do on all my superstrats - i never use the tone knob on a bridge HB anyways. Saves time and effort

I’ll probably try it this weekend

Upgrading to a 500k on the volume helped but not as much as I was expecting probably due to the 250k tone

Yes its 100% an issue for lots of ppl. I personally think it works a lot better to just run the HB as a straight shot - it has more presence that way, and seems to match better with the single coils in tone (if not output) IMO

That makes sense. I have never used a singlecoil

The only time I'm ever a single coil guy is if I manage to drop a long one without breaking on the john

Tone pots are just a nuisance if you are playing rock.

if it's accidentally on 9, not knowing you fiddle with amp settings.
