There's also Artietoo's improved "de-mud" version of the plain-cap mod.
He uses a .01uF cap in parallel with a 470K (EDIT: 500K) resistor, giving a gentler rolloff with a slightly higher shelf frequency.
For some reason the image won't embed, but there's a diagram here.
Below is a link to Artietoo's post with a graph describing the results (in a thread by someone who tried it and liked it). He recommends using this mod in the series link between humbucker coils like this, for a subtler effect. OP of the thread below didn't have a 4-wire pickup and simply wired it between the hot and the pot as shown in that first link above.

Am thinking about trying this one on the entire output of a Tele build, with a push-pull to trim the fat when I want. The pickups follow the classic singlecoil form but are wound pretty beefy. I figure it wouldn't be bad once in awhile to have skinnier tone on tap.
EDIT - I thought the resistor was supposed to be 470K because that's what I have on hand and was planning to use. My mistake.

Artie's De-Mud Mod is Magic!!!! (a review)
Hey all. As some of you know, I've been trying out a 59n/JB combo in my '81 Hamer Special (looks exactly like the one on the far right of the pic). For a while, I tried the 59n and JB and was rewarded with a decent, if not mind blowing tone. I really dug the high end presence of the 59 and...
