<p>I did volume and tone pots with a humbucker. I only play it with the tone rolled all the way off. Too trebly otherwise. I am a bass guitar player, so that factors into it (I'm not much on screaming/biting treble). It would have been simpler to just do a volume pot with a fixed resistor/capacitor for tone. Not a big deal, I suppose. </p>

<p><span>On my dual P90 guitars, I change tone by switching between the three pickup combinations. Riding the volume knob is a great skill, though. Can go from clean to edge of distortion with a touch of the pinkie.</span></p>

<p>On my full size geets I almost never use them, but that's because I am such a low-level player. On the onter hand, one of my Life Rules is 'better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it'.</p>

<p>If you don’t mind not having control over your volume & tone, then go straight to the output jack. But if you want to get the most tonal response out of your pickups, then Volume & Tone pots are a must, they fine tune the sound without having to change your amp settings? </p>

<p>Strat style pickup, P90, or? </p>
<p>On my P90 guitars I rarely use the tone, so I plan to go with a 250-300K volume pot only.</p>
