[quote name='sk8' post='147769' date='Feb 27 2008, 01:15 PM']I'm going to do an S1 type mod to my hohner jazz with a push/pull pot but don't know which value to get.

Whats the differences/benefits of either

Thanks in advance[/quote]

Single-coil pickups like the Jazz use 250k pots. Humbuckers have a higher impedance so need 500k pots so they don't load them.

You can use 500k with single-coil, but you'll lose more treble at low volume settings due to the capacitance of the cable.
