Volume / Volume / Tone / Tone

Can anyone simply give me a wiring diagram, wich is not from the 60's reissue jazz bass wich is a double pot, but a simple wiring diagram for 4 pots? No "do a search" (i have) or other witty comments, just help on this issue? This is a passive bass.

Thanks.

It's actually pretty simple; think of it as two P-bass control sets put together. Hot from the neck pickup goes to the volume pot with a lead or cap from the same terminal to the tone pot. Hot output from the volume pot goes to the jack's tip terminal. Repeat for the bridge pickup, then wire grounds from the "off" and "dark" sides of the pots and from the ground side of the pickups to a ring terminal (no ground loops, easier to solder) with a single lead from there to the ground side of the jack.

You try www.guitarelectronics.com ? They have some wiring diagrams there.

Found this (for future references) after looking closer through a few threads that came up.

This is what a 62 RI would look like if you spearated the halves of the pots. Same basic thing.
