I did a search and could not find an answer, so if it has been answered elsewhere, please direct me..

I have a 51 Nocaster CS Relic with the original blender wiring. Love the blender sound.. but would like to turn the "tone knob" on the "mudded" neck pickup up about 1/2 way..

I understand if you change out the 15k resistor with one of lesser value, you can even out the volume drop, but is there a capacitor value that you can put in line that makes the neck pickup sound like it had a tone knob setting of "5" for a more "jazzy" sounding tone than the current really dark tone setting that sounds like a tone knob set at minus 3?

Thanks for your help!
