Thanks - when the rules change enough I'll bring it over so you can give me an up close critic. I think the set up is close - but I'm concerned that the low E intonation is nearly maxed out.

Thanks for the analysis. I'm not sure where HBS P90s fit in the HB vs SC tone pot value debate. But what I'm finding is nothing happens until the tone control gets to about 3 or 4. I noticed the other day that the kit has A and B pots so assumed I should be using linear taper pots.

The SD wiring diagrams suggests 500k pots and the audio flavour were all I could find in the CTS mini size - so that's what I went with. I'll experiment with a parallel resister mod as you've suggested.
