Can I wire my Schecter bass with a series/parallel switch?

I have a Schecter Omen-4, can I do series/parallel wiring on it, and still have the blend control?

More importantly, is there anything special I need to consider?

I'm sure it's possible, but more than likely you will not have the blend control in the circut when it is in series. Series basically turns both pickups into one pickup, rendering a blend useless.

It is possible to have a series parallel switch and a blend control, but it requires you to use a 3PDT toggle switch.
A push/pull pot will not work...

I drew you up a schematic in MS Paint.
Let me know if you have any confusion on the schematic.
