I'll bring my bass to my electronics store and check it out then, lol. Why do i need a 4 pole, by the way? Also, does a single pup (with the other zeroed) sound exactly the same when used in parallel rather than series? I love the sound of my neck PU alone, but since series with the standard switch would mean having them sound only together... What about a 3 way switch? Or 2 separate switches for turning 'em on and off? Do you think that would work?
By the way, this is the bass:

Has even a bit of his own story. Years ago, this friend of mine, a cello player, found a Fender body in the junkyard, bought the cheapest decent neck he could find (Roytek) and defretted it. Did some gigs with it but eventually sort of gave up music, and so he gave it to me.
