Strat Mod

[KEVIN1600]

I've got a FENDER FAT STRAT . Can someone tell me how to modify it so the tone control works with the bridge pickup instead of the middle pickup ,like the new ERIC JOHNSON STRAT. The humbucker is great but it would be better if I could roll off some treble on it.

There is a wire which is soldered to the middle pickups conection on the switch and tone control. Move it to the bridge pickups conection.

Is there a way to make the middle pickup tone knob work for both middle AND bridge pickup?
I'm ignorant of this kind of thing. Just thought I'd ask.

Not with the switch you have.

I could come up with something using a MegaSwitch, on a standard switch anything you do is either going to effect all three or it would make the the mid and bridge pickups ALWAYS on together, which is kinda bad (I think).

It will already effect both when you are in the in-between possition with both the neck and the bridge pickups on.
