Yup! - Details in this thread back when I owned it:

I wanted something simple and easily reverseable that gave me max brightness from the neck pickup. I like it spanky!

Excellent - thanks for the link. 8) What effect did it have on the tone control's sweep and range?

Pretty much negated it all except for taking of the smidge of treble at the very top end, but that was what I was aiming for - I wanted full brightness Neck pickup at one switch flip.

I wouldn't recommend my mod if you actually want to use the tone control on the Rhythm circuit.

Hi, new to the forum here. I was browsing topics and find this one interesting. Considering that a 50k tone pot is used on the Jag's rhythm circuit, along with a .01uF tone capacitor, could any detail/clarity/high end be added by simply going to a smaller value tone cap, like a .0082uF? I'm thinking that might be an option to make the rhythm circuit more usable (while still retaining a darker sound than the lead circuit), but I'm wondering if anyone has tried something like that. Or I could be all wet... :?
