Can capacitors be used on volume pots the same as they would be on tone pots?

I believe a vol pot and tone pot are the same pot. One cuts volume and when a cap is applied, it cuts the highs. That is why you have both. Just remember that both have resintance,,,250k, 1meg, etc. A cap is nothing more then a transister made battery,, charging and discharging.

My thinking is that if a capacitor is wired into the ground of say the neck volume pot that this would filter more treble frequencies only for the neck pickup and not affect the entire circuit when set to off position. Right? Therefore if this is true one could modify each or any of the frequency resonses of either pickup in like manner.

I believe so. I put a switch in my guitar that has a .2uf and .5uf cap for all tone,, it does make a differance.
