Bareknuckle Aftermaths in a '91 UV7BK. Should i replace all of the electronics?

[SunOfNothing10]

Yoo, i found myself an old UV7Bk in good condition a while back and i cant stand the stock Blaze humbuckers. After a lot of research and testing some dimarzios i've decided to order a set of green Aftermaths to replace the blazes.

So im wondering if i should replace all of the original electronics when i throw the BKPs in? all opinions are appreciated.

It is a good time to do it, but I would only do it if anything was crackling/popping, etc.

Might as well. It's cheap.

True say, im gonna do that. i guess i might as well get a new switch for it, even though it wont be green it will probably work better all around. Thanks dudes

you can go to any ibanez dealer and order the knobs and switch tip from the new UV70P which fit on the old UV pots and switch. Totally worth it, I got a set for my Greendot.

Good thinking, but i can use the original knobs that i got on brand new pots, can i not?

I think so, yeah. The vast majority of pots use the same threading, and if the pot you find isn't compatible, you can find another one like it that is.
By the way, if you want the Aftermaths to be even hotter, tighter, and brighter, you could try 1meg or 2meg pots. Standard is 500k, low-output/dark is 250k.
