Actually, copying word for word from an identical thread I replied to yesterday:
I'd be glad to draw you a diagram, but you didn't explain what you wanted the push/pull to do?
Series/parallel, killswitch, different capacitor values, what?
ah, a killswitch, but i dont think you can do Series/parallel on my bass, because its one pickup, i dont think it has seperate coils
Ok, if you just want a killswitch, I can explain that without a diagram.
Pick one side of the switch and connect the middle (common) terminal to ground.
Now connect the terminal that is closest to the shaft of the pot to the tip terminal on the output jack.
this is what the wiring looks like:

do you do this with a push/pull pot? , i installed a killswitch on my guitar before and it really screwed my guitar up.
You can do it with a push/pull or a mini toggle, it doesn't matter, the wiring is identical.
How did it screw up your guitar?
