Try it both ways and hear for yourself.
The location of the tone pot makes a difference.
Most tone controls are connected at the INPUT of the volume pot along with the pickup.
All you have to do is unsolder and move the tone pot from the INPUT of the volume pot (same terminal the pickup is connected to) and resolder it to the MIDDLE terminal. The middle terminal is the OUTPUT of the pot and places the tone control AFTER the pickup signal has passed through the volume pot in the circuit.
You'll hear a difference and probably like one sound more than the other.
