I've been using the same thin ceramic floor tile (12"x12") with some rubber dots glued under the corners for 23 years?

TBX way better with Humbucker strats tho. I get phenomenal range with a nos 0.1uF oil & paper capacitor instead of the standard 0.022 capacitor in my set up. I've always got most of my tone from my amp tho.
Yeah, I was talking about the TBX. What you say is technically true, the TBX at the middle detent of the pot sweep is supposed to be equivalent to a regular strat tone pot at 10. So the TBX from 0 to 5 = a regular strat pot from 0 to 10. The problem is this: a pot sweep from 0 to 5 has nothing like the feel and the ability to dial in subtle amounts of cut that a full pot sweep gives you. If you think you are going to be able to nail those classic tone pot sounds, well, I say good luck to you. I was never able to make it work well for me.
There's one other thing, although I'm a bit tentative to say it because I can't think of a solid technical reason why it ought to be true. But the TBX never seemed to work to for me with a treble bleed in the same way as a regular tone pot. This meant that I couldn't use the volume pot in the same way as a regular strat with a treble bleed mod. Rolling back the volume on my TBX guitar just never seemed to sound "right". When I swapped to a regular set up, that problem went away. That said, I also changed my neck and middle pickups, so it's possible that is what made the big difference.
