Remove Tone Pot from EMG 81 w/Quick-Connects

[SonVolt]

Is there an easy way to bypass the tone pot in an EMG 81 bridge pickup installed with EMG's quick-connect system? Something sounds off with the bridge pickup, like the tone pot is rolled down slightly. I'm trying to rule out the tone pot being defective first before exploring other options.

Any other tips would be welcome.

Doesn't it have its own connector? I've got EMGs in a guitar with no tone control and, IIRC, I just never plugged it in. If I am remembering correctly, you can just disconnect it.

I'm not at home to take photos at the moment, but here's the wiring diagram per EMG.

Looks like you'd just plug the output cable into where the master tone is connected above.
