The bridge pick up tone control has an 'indent' at about the 5 position and I remember it serves a purpose but i cannot remember what it is. Can anyone help?

Not sure about yours, but some (like the Clapton model), have the "normal" tone between the full off position and that indent. Anything higher than that indent is boosting something - usually mids or treble.

Some Fender guitars come equipped with a special pot called a TBX Tone Control T (treble) B (bass) X (Cut) that cuts either treble or bass instead of a tone pot that cuts treble frequencies only. This is done with a ganged 500K-1M ohm control pot that is wired to work as a low-pass filter in one direction and a high-pass filter in the opposite direction. A center detent in the middle position is provided for the off or "flat" position. Although Fender altered their Start tone configuration to have the TBX control the middle and bridge pickups, it can be also be wired as a master treble/bass control. The TBX can also be used in place of any standard tone control on any guitar.

Hope this help.s
