I have nothing to add other than I still have the cap in place in my 480 and really like the sound it produces.

Yes, that's exactly how it should work. 0.002 uF will isolate and confine the treble pickup's signal even more, letting the neck pickup take over even more of the midrange.
I can see that on the new adjustible pole piece neck pickup, as it has good jangle as well as drive. But I'm not so sure it would just strangle a toaster.

Philip, it seems you do not have a .0047uF cap. Also, the eyelet on the toaster needs to be on the nearest corner screw/nut, not captured between the coil and aluminum base plate.
Thanks, good sighting John. Should the eyelet go to "a" or "b"? I guess "a"? It probably doesn't matter, but "a" is the nearest

..wherever, in any case you have to change the orientation of the alu base plate
so that the cable exits at the round spared hole of the alu base plate.

Peter is sharper than me.
He is right, the aluminum base plate needs to rotate 180 degrees then the eyelet goes to the nearest screw, A, as Ken already posted.

Philip, don’t let yourself get confused by these guys. Too much Johnny Walker maybe
Obviously the aluminium bass plate can’t be rotated, as you will have discovered by now if you’ve tried.
Btw: The eyelet, it’s for grounding the pickup metal covering, and can be connected wherever you find most convenient as long as it is in good contact with covering.
