u/Upper-Ability5020

I’m looking at one of these on Facebook marketplace for a really good deal. I like that it’s a tele and has jumbo frets, 12 inch radius, and the Japanese quality control. I want to turn it into a low-tuned metal guitar with a hot passive pickup in the bridge, something like a Bareknuckle or a Lundgren. My only question is, how is that going to work with this TBX tone control? The tone part of the sweep is only a 250k pot, so that sounds pretty unusable for metal, but the upper part sounds like it could be almost an onboard boost type effect? Anyone ever try this?
