Ok maybe i should be more descriptive this would be my first wiring job for a bass. Now this is purely for fun so everything doesn't have to be great quality because i'm attempting to make a joke custom bass. i want to be able to connect 2 lp style humbuckers ( they're cheap knockoffs) to one output. Now i'm not sure what type of pots I'll need but would these work?
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...4850&rd=1&rd=1
and i would use this output
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...7808&rd=1&rd=1
Also will i need any other materials to do this job besides more wire?
Now if that won't be able to work I'll just use one of these pickups

connected to the same pots and input but then again i'm not sure if that will work either.

Questions first:

Do you want 2 volumes (1 for each pup) or just a master volume?
Do you want to select pups, and if so, do you want a blend knob or a switch (note that 2 volume controls would also accomplish this)?
Do you want a tone knob?

This is a very basic question, I'm sure you could find a bevy of info by performing a search for a schematic.

2 volumes and a tone knob, no switches.

It just goes to the bridge, and sits between the bridge and the body. This grounds the bridge and the strings, which is very imporant.
