I'm going to be changing the pickups in my Strat again. It currently has D.Allen HotVintage54's in the neck and middle and a DiMarzio Chopper in the bridge. Its a good combination that I like, and sounds great clean and with some moderate crunch. But once the gain is dialed up, two problems arise: the Chopper in the bridge doesn't have enough bottom end, and more importantly, the single coils hum way too much.
So, I've decided to install a trio of rail pickups from DiMarzio. It will be as follows:
Bridge: BC-2
Middle: Chopper
Neck: Cruiser Bridge model
I want the neck pickup to be nice and bright, so I was thinking of not connecting the tone pot at all. However, I would like to have the option of running the neck in series or parallel, and that probably would require a push/pull pot. The brightest pot available that I know if is the 1M ohm pot.
So heres my question: is there any noticeable difference between a 1M ohm pot and running the pickup wide open?
