Adding a Treble Bleed circuit to a Mustang

When I was putting together my Musicmaster, Haze did the wiring harness for me and added a treble bleed circuit so when you roll off the tone knob it does not suck all the volume away as well..

I really like it and was considering adding it to one or both of my Mustangs. Is it hard? Does anyone have a wiring diagram for it and can tell me how to add it to the existing Mustang wiring?

I need to recheck one of the switches on my Mustang and could add it then.

Do you mean the simple cap across the volume pot mod?

Not Sure. Unless Haze chimes in , I may have to open up my Musicmaster to see what he added.

Surely the most logical thing would be to ask Haze directly?

I dislike treble bleed mods because I do rely on the sound darkening up with the volume knob going left. However, it's relatively easy to stick a tone knob that rolls off bass instead of treble. You could even stack that on your tone knob so you have bass roll-off as well as treble roll-off.

I use 500k pot with 0.0033 uF cap.

I am in agreement.

Mr Lou told me that years ago, to roll back on the volume to dial in more tonez. I never ever play clean on 10, usually on 7.
