Any Reviews from those of you who purchased the bees?

GREAT CAPS! I've had them in for a couple weeks now... I heard a huge difference when I upgraded from stock to the Jensen RS kit cap, when I changed to these I didn't hear as big of adifference but it was definitely noticable to my ears... roll back on the volume and tone is incredible... I can't believe I ever played my Paul stock!... If you have some extra cash these are worth the upgrade in my opinion...

On another note, I upgraded my volume pots to the RS "Super" pots and I changed them back to the regular pots... I did not like them at all... they seemed to make my guitar really bright... anybody try these "Super" Pots? My opinion is buy the Bumblebees and save your cash on the super pots...

So the caps are worth it, but the superpots were very bright? Interesting.

So, maybe its in my best interest to get 4 switching pots and go for a Jimmy Page wiring scheme. Neck and Bridge coil tap, phase, and series/parallel. With all the controls disengaged, it would be the standard 50's wiring scheme.

Any thoughts? Opinions on the Superpots?


Let me know please,
