Upgrading electronics on H-535

I've been slowly working on the 2002 H-535 I recently acquired.  I put a Seth Lover pickup in the neck and that was a noticeable improvement over the Schaller.  Now I'd like to do something about the dramatic loss in high frequency response when I turn down the volume on the neck pickup.  If I go down to 8 it sounds like I turned the tone down to about 3.  I remember hearing that getting better pots, or different capacitors, or something can make a big difference.  Is there a straightforward answer to this?

 

thanks,  Michael

Try the RS Electronics upgrade kit. A lot of people swear by it.

All you need to do is a "treble bleed mod", I have done it numerous times, recently on my 535 that I put Seth Lovers on!  All it intails is adding a .001 cap. across the  volum pot.  Very easy to do, extremely effective.  If you do a goole search for Treble Bleed Mod, you should find lots of info.  It works great, super cheap (the caps can be found a Radio Shack), very effective.
