Treble Control

Use a passive treble cut control with a follower before the filter. That way you will avoid insertion loss and get some (about 6dB) of usable range. Usually one film capacitor of 47nF (to taste) and a single 10K pot+1K resistor manage the trick. All in series, with the top of the pot to the signal, and the last connection to ground. Simple enough. The whole filter is in parallel to the signal - the same node is input and output...

The regular Baxandall control will not work correctly without both filters in circuit, the slope responses are severely dependent on each other.
 
My circuit:
I was thinking of removing all the bass components.

Will not work if you just remove the bass controls.

The pole will shift. You can replace the Pot with two resistors of equal value - half that of the pot, so that the bass appears in mid-point always.

Or you have a passive filter as I have outlined above. It's used all the time in guitars and guitar amps. Works perfectly...
