480 Bridge pickup capacitor

Post by doog »

Hi
I tried to bypass the 0047 bridge pickup capacitor on my rick 480 by removing it and weld a simple wire instead.
I guess that's not the right way to do it cause nothing changed and the pickup still sound thin.
Anyone knows how to do that?
Thanks a lot

Are you sure you replaced the correct cap?

I tried to bypass to big orange capacitor, but nothing changed.
Is it the small orange capacitor that i need to bypass?

Thanks
