Quick question that's been bugging me. Moving the middle pup tone pot onto the bridge pup. I did this mod a few months ago to tame the shrilling treble I was getting from the bridge pup because I wanted to use it on certain tracks we were playing live it worked great but on other tracks I wanted all that treble glassiness back. Thing is even with the tone pot on full it still bled some of the treble off. My question is will using no load tone pots rectify this. Also I tried the jumper wire mod to make the tone controll work on the bridge and the middle pickup this was great but it made the inbetween position really muffled and muddy so would using a jumper wire and no load tone pots give me all that feebly high end back when the pots were on ten?
I've heard the bridge pup on a strat with the tone rolled back is great for cutting through the mix? What do you guys think???

Yes, the no-loads will rectify. Actually, you've pretty much answered your own questions, go for it.
