Use a push/pull pot to switch between series and parallel, that way you have both.
Boom! Payed for my blue 4 string ng-2. Coming in BEAD. Im so excited to play an instrument of This caliber, I remember playing the 5 string version months ago and was blown away.
Got the super fatty at the bridge on my SJ5 wired in series this afternoon. Diggin' it so far. It's a little hotter and brings more mids. It'll be in the mix this Sunday which is the true test. 
You guys have seen the Pro pic of my Super PJ last month but I just posted a NBD with pics and a mini-review here:

Your review is definitely biased though, considering you are the owner of the nicest looking super pj in existence.
I forgot to take note of what page it was on, but now it is on this page.
Thanks for the post.
You're welcome! Paging back through the thread gave me something to do while waiting for Jeff @ Dingwall to send me a diagram which turned out to be this exact one. 
Thanks Scott - and thanks again for letting me checkout your collection. It really helped me with my decisions and shows just how awesome TB'ers are. Feel free to drop by anytime
This is the new-to-me Combustion 5 I picked up a few months back. Pups & elex are all stock but I did add Hipshot UL's and a Dunlop strap button in the correct position. What is interesting is that it is S/N #00021 so I'll assume it's from the first batch and pretty much in near mint condition...mods notwithstanding.

It looks like transparent white over alder. I'd never seen it before the Combustion debuted...
Played the SJ5 during service this morning. No need for a switch to toggle between parallel and series for the bridge pickup - it is staying (and slaying!) in series!

The bridge/series neck/parallel is an excellent upgrade tonally over parallel/parallel in parallel. If your neck pu is a 4L, you should mod it for a two way switch giving you the option of running the solo'd neck pu in series. More P-ness.
Some sort of translucent white...almost has a pink tinge to it in the right light.

I had a jazz bass for a little while that was transparent white over ash and it had a tinge of pink also. Cool finish!
Hey guys, quick question. What is your preferred pickup settings on your Dingwall? For example, I play an abz in the J bass setting with my EQ flat. That feels the most comfortable to me. I'm not saying I don't use or love the sound of the other settings and variations. Those settings just feel like home for me.
My Afterburners mostly get played with both pickups in series. Sometimes I use just the neck pickup, especially the one that has the P-Tone neck pickup. For EQ, I generally boost the bass a little and roll the tone down (older model ABII with the hybrid treble control, which has a tone control below the detent and treble boost above).
