Hi I have converted my bass to passive (2 x Bartolini mk4) and I would like to just wire it 2 PUs in series and 1 tone control.
Can someone help with a wiring diagram? Also has anyone tried 0.033 caps with Barts? I think that maybe it could be a nice mix with the natural characteristics of the Barts. Thanks.

Hots from pickups go to the middle terminal of respective volume pots. Right terminal of the pots goes to the ground, lefts are connected together and go to the middle terminal of the tone pot as well as to the tip of the jack. Right terminal of the tone pot via capacitor to the ground. Left terminal is unconnected.
The pots should be 500k in general.
0.033uf cap will cut less of the top but should be functional tone. Usual value is 0.047uf.
