Silo Special HOT?

[wolf5150]

Timmons uses the Cruiser Bridge model in both his neck and middle positions.

He says the slightly higher output of the bridge model balances better with his bridge humbucker.

I found them a bit weak in the neck, but I'm happy with the middle.. that's why I swapped up to the fast track.

It is warmer than my Kinmans so I've lowered the bass side quite a bit to help balance it.

I have a 500K volume and 250K tone with the same value cap as you, but a bumble bee.

I'm very very happy with this set up.

I would think that the 250K tone pot would make it even darker sounding then with the 500K. Either way it is a great pickup and I am not expecting it to sound like a single coil. I really love he sound for solos...I guess it makes sense that it's called the Fast Track. I still need to swap out the stock humbucker for something smoother...maybe Air Zone...I've read some good things about this one.

You guys are using blades for your singles right? Anyone here used 500k pots with vintage coils?

I've ressurected this thread because I've gotten a set of cruisers (neck) for my red silo spec, and a FRED for the bridge. Anyone know what would happen to the tone if I used the following volume/tone pot value options?

1. 250k/250k
2. 500k/250k
3. 500k/500k

Anyone have sound clips?
