Custom Wiring setup Please Help!

[Steviewevie95]

Question:
I have a bass (Warrior Keith Horne 5) that is modified and had a 5 knob 2 switch configuration for a Bartolini pre amp that isn't original. I want to go 100% passive and wanted to wire it as such. How would I go about wiring the following setup?

Volume - Volume - Tone w/ on/on switch to bypass - Tone w/ on/on switch - 3 Way Selector

The parts, if it matters, are the following. I went all out on making it have the best components because I have custom Aero Split Coil J 5 String pickups with maple covers going in to replace the current Bartolini Candybars. I'll post pictures when they're in the bass!

Dunlop Super Pot 500 K for volume x2
Dunlop Super Pot 250 K for tone x2
Switchcraft On/On mini switch x2
Switchcraft 3 Way Pickup selector (in gold) x1
Puretone Stereo Jack (in gold) x1
Emerson .022uF Oil in Paper Cap x2
Golden Age Ceramic Disc treble bleed circuit x2

Any advice helps in wiring this guy and if anyone knows how to and can draw a schematic I would be so grateful.

I'm wondering if there is a big enough difference between tone on full and tone bypassed to justify dedicated switches ?

Because otherwise, this seems to (mostly) fit the bill :

I suppose you could modify this and add the switches to break the connection between the cap and the pot.

Taking the tone pots out of the circuit definitely makes a difference (i.e. things get a little louder and a little brighter). If you didn't want the switches you could use no-load pots.

Also, FWIW, the .022uF value is probably too low for the bridge tone (meaning it won't roll off much top end). Most basses use double that value (.047uF) or greater (.1uF). And IMO the only extraordinary thing about those Emerson PIO caps is the price. They are not quantifiable "better" components and you can get top quality 5% tolerance caps to do the job for 2 or 3 dollars and they are less than half the size of those PIO behemoths.

And if you like Orange Drops, don't let someone sell you a giant 600 volt cap for an application that may never see 2 volts. There are great 5% 100 volt versions too but the guitar shops fool you with the 'bigger is better' mantra. Link Removed

Sorry for the delay on the pictures but all the supplies showed up!

I think I may switch one of the tone pots out and a 2 way selector for a different value cap tone and a on / on switch to go between two different value caps and also being able to completely bypass the tone via the previous 2 way selector that is designated to just bypass tone.

The more I play with this the more I realize that this passive setup can be incredibly diverse if stuff is just wired in a certain way!

Sure, sure. I'll get right on that.

Nothin' too special here, basically "Les Paul" type wiring with switchable tone caps and and a tone on/off switch that disconnects the tone caps from ground and removes them from the circuit. L1 and L2 are the pickups, R1 and R2 are the tone pots, R2 and R4 are volumes, S1 is the cap selector, S2 is tone on/off, S3 is a Gibson-type pickup switch.
