You can also wire it without the cap and resistor to lower the inductance of the pickups. This mellows the output, which is really cool.

Awesome pics, Arlo. Thanks! It's nice to see where my favorite pickups come from.

I still remember my amazement a few years ago the first time I called with a question and Becky put Bill on the phone. He educated me for 30 minutes! What a guy.
Excellent explanation of the Q filter. I am going to be installing one so I will give an audible example soon.

I have Bill on video demonstrating the Q in his shop. Outstanding stuff and You Tube videos are coming soon!

Dang I was either drinking too much tequila or mi spel cheka iz bustid.
