Neck tone 10 / bridge tone 3. Am I the only one?

I almost always have the tone set this way.
the Eternal Question...
How to get more treble out of the Neck pickup?
Maybe I'll hear something I haven't heard before. Maneuver know..

I often dial my neck volume down to 7-8 and my bridge tone down to the same to get good balance between the two pickups.
My trick for the neck has been a mild treble bleed cap and replacing the tone control cap with a lower value, or replacing the tone control with a midrange control (anybody else ever use the Dan Torres midrange kit?)

I would suggest a 550k pot or so for a little extra brightness out of the neck pickup.
