Not an easy question - what kind of sound are you looking for?

I like a very bright sound, clarity, nice cleans (distortions from amp & pedals), so my choise would be (CTS) pots at least 500k's, and the tone(s) would be no-load(s) - then a little testing on caps (.022µF or .047µF) etc.
But, my heart is single coil wired...

An interesting possibility here: Santellan Sounds Blacktop prewired
I have no experience on that, but it might give you some ideas.

You're quite welcome.

It's culture shock! I'm considering using my Acme Illudium PU-36 Explosive Space Modulator to permanently resolve the problem!!

Hey guys,
Possibly the wrong forum...could have posted this question in the "Other Fender Guitars"...but since we are here, I have a MIM Jaguar Blacktop HH played totally clean through a (Chinese)Fender Champion 600, and I get absolutely no response on the Tone pot. What's up with that?

If it doesn't have a power tube in the circuit...I'm not that interested
