So would an option be to swap it to a 1meg and stick in a treble bleed circuit? My thinking here is that the 1meg would allow more highs to come through, and the treble bleed would retain some of the treble as I turn it down.Have you considered something like this? Looking over what you are saying, it seems like it could be the most direct path to what you are discussing.phpBB [media]phpBB [media]

I recently had my Tele modded with a Broadcaster bridge pickup and a push/pull volume pot (250K) that bypasses the volume control, tone pot (also 250K) and capacitor when in the up position. It's really cool sounding. Very bright, much louder and abrasive, in a good way. In the down position it just sounds like a really good Tele.
