pot question

[nick]

First.....I apologize for all the questions lately but I'm fairly new to P90s and I'm wanting to educate myself the best I can. I just bought a Cobra Special 11-21-03a and the previous owner had a set of Harmonic Design P90s that didn't sound right to me. I've since put in a set of Fralins that sound great but here is my question. What pots are used in the Cobra Special......250 or 500K? Also, with the Fralins I received a Angela copper foil in oil .022 tone capacitor. This was how the old Gibson P90s were wired......at least that is what I was told. I took the stock capacitor out/put in this other one and I can't tell a difference at all. So I return to why I was asking about the pots......what is in the Cobra Special and should I use one or the other with the Fralins? Thanks in advance!

cobras and old gibsons used 500k pots. out tone cap is a .01 mf which should leave more middle in as you roll it down compared to the .022 you put it. the .022 should sound bassier when it's all the way off.

I appreciate the info Tom and for being so available too. It is a great benefit to get such quick responses straight from the source......thanks again!
