No, the focus knob diagram you posted. I used a 525k pot and 2.2nf cap

You like it? How it tapers as it rolls off the bass?

It's a little more subtle than I'd like, so I might change the values. Definitely more useful to me than a traditional tone control. Also keep in mind I have that guitar tuned down to A

Well, I still can't decide what I want to do with the wiring on this guitar. I'm leaning away from the Bass Contour as it's pretty bright already.
I'm still thinking about turning it into a 4 knob Gibson style layout but haven't decided yet.
In the meantime, I swapped out the pickups. I put the new set of Zhangbucker P90's in my Goldtop. (They are sublime and worthy of a post update on their own).
I took the Planet Tone Elite Pro and Hot 56 P90's and put them in the Squier, replaced all the crappy wiring, put in a Switchcraft toggle and jack.
It sounds pretty good. It's definitely a bit surreal playing it. I mean, it feels like a strat but also a bit like an LP Special.
Tonally, there's still the Fender thing going on. Whether it's the maple neck, or the bolt on construction, I don't know. But it's got a bit of that top end chime even with the hotter pickups.
The bridge pickup can get rude and snarly like a Special or a Junior as well.
What a cool guitar! I like it!

I have both a Reverend and a G&L and I love the bass contour on both. I must say it’s not as useful in my S500 because the low end is not as pronounced as the revtron pickups so I don’t tend to use it as much.
