resister value for esquire wiring

[g6120]

hello folks




im about to complete a esquire and i have two variations of resisters to use

one is a 330 k and the other is a 2.5 k

any difference between the two or will the 2.5 k version give my guitar a bit brighter high end with more bite .

thoughts welcomed

Not alot of difference really.

The best way to do this is hook up a mini pot instead of the resistor a pot is nothing more than a variable resistor so just add another pot set it for the preset bassy sound and you dont have to live with a fixed setting for the bassy sound ytou can control it.

hello mark

thanks for the input and while on that thought by specs which of the two ive mentioned theoredically speaking would apt to have more high end output

the 2.5k resister would let more bass end through where the 330k would take the bottom end bass off a bit more ? correct

The 330 is like 3.3 compared to the 2.5. I always think ther least resistance the more signal gets thru so a 2.5 should be a little brighter than the 330.
