slightly OT - tone resistor

[ESPm2M]

What value resistor, as a set tone resistor in a guitar, would roll off frequencies above 5kHz? What values for 4kHz and 6kHz?

thanks

You mean capacitor.
 For rolling off highs, that would be signal path to ground.
 Try different values starting around 100pf/.0047uf [?]...a bigger cap value starts rolling off highs at a lower frequency, smaller will let more treble through.

with resistor to ground you need to know the inductance in front of it (the value of the "coil" in H). then it should be F(requency)= 1/(2*pi*R*"H").
So R=1/(2*pi*5000Hz*H). You need to find the "H". It depends on what kind of pick-up.

Well it IS possible wth a resistor, you know, see my answer. The Pickup acts as an inductor, which is a "reverse" cap (higher resistance to highs).

How about a cap/resistor combo then (like a normal tone pot)?
