What's the benefit?

Oh, that's what I look for in a bridge pickup. I want killer tone, not smooth tone. I don't like my sound clean shaven, for lack of better term.

why the 4th pot? you could just use a push pull pot

well just don't get lost in them you could always glue knobs all over the pick guard if you like the way they look

also you would have to route the body cavity to add a pot in that location.

this looks better

Or just wire the middle tone control as a blender pot for the neck pickup. The remaining tone as a master tone. Achieve exactly the same thing for the price of 2" of wire without altering the look of your guitar with a load of switches and pots.

No no and no

That Tone Pot is now in direct line with your hand/pick movement, I don't see the necessity of complicating the control layout.
Not something i want to be fishing around with in a dimly lit venue....

Then again my preference is for one Master Volume and one Master tone ( TBX + .022 Cap ) a standard 5 way switch or a Superswitch which then gives you all the pick up combo's possible with three.
If really needing more... than a stacked humbucker with a coil switch ( push/pull Vol pot ) then it still stays simple.

The cleaner the look on a Strat, the better.

My main Strat is set up with a master tone, with the third knob set up with a 3-way rotary switch which offers a choice of two different tone caps or bypass.

Nice to have the option of rolling the tone of the bridge pickup back a bit, or go the opposite way and bypass the tone pot entirely for a bit of extra bite and level.

Works for me!

This is exactly what i've decided to do whence my new pups arrive. (will probably use the TBX Pot I have on hand for the master tone) All my research on this points to needing a no load pot for the blender. I will have to order one of these. Question is, are there any ramification if i don't use a no Load pot? At least to start with to make sure the setup works?

Happy new Year folks
