71 custom RI HB tone question

Hi all,

I just joined the club this weekend with a black 2003 MIM reissue.

I read in reviews about the HB being muddy, but found that lowering the pup a couple of turns cleaned up the sound quite a bit, while slightly lowering the output.

I'm interested in the 250k -> 500k tone pot mod and would like to know from anyone who's done it:

Is it a relatively easy DIY (I can use a soldering iron, but I'm not an electronics wizz)?

Is it better to do both vol and tone pots?

Does the mod make any difference when the pots are at '10' - or only when dialled back a bit?

any advice/experience very welcome!
thanks
Phil
