treble bleed FOR P-90s ?

[ruger9]

I can't find any info on treble bleeds for P-90's, just singles & HBs.

Heck, I even found a treble bleed for my Filtertrons in my Gretsch, but no P-90 ones anywhere.

On my tele, I have the 50's wiring mod, which isn't really a treble bleed, but I like what it does.

I would normally just do that to my P-90 guitar, but it has no tone pot... it's a PRS SE One, just one pickup, one knob. So I'll need a cap/res network on the vol pot. Can anybody suggest some treble bleed values specifically for P-90s?

AFAIC, treble bleed mods are "one size fits all..."

I've never seen anyone suggest that there are specific values for certain types of pickups. It's a TONE thing - you want more highs bled across, use a higher value cap. I've never used anything but just a .001uF cap myself, on Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, what have you - WHEN DESIRED - and I don't use the resistor. The treble bleed mod is not a must-have on every axe for me.

Throw a .001uF cap across the volume pot lugs, and see if it does what you want. It's easy enough to remove if you don't like it, or change value if it's not enough.

I recommend the values Lindy Fralin uses for just about any type of pickup (see volume kit diagram):

ps - The cap+resister setup will sound much better than just the cap by itself.

Thanks guys! And if it's truly "one size fits all", the TV Jones treble bleed he recommends for his Filtertrons is by far the best I've ever heard. It's a .001/150K

I've used TV Jones' values before too. They sound great as well. Like I said, it's that combination of cap and resister that keeps it sounding "natural."
