Is this P/MM configuration achievable?

Sure thing! and thanks.

I have it set up with two 500k volume pots, no tone control. The jaguar plate is from a Kurt Cobain Jaguar and only affects the MM pickup. The toggle switch goes front coil/both coils/rear coil and the slider switch puts both coils in series or parallel humbucking (parallel is standard Ray sound).

I end up liking both coils on all the time and only end up using the series/parallel sliding switch. Consequently, I'm thinking of making the toggle switch go P pickup/Both/MM pickup.

Try to have the neckside coil of the MM pickup independently selectable. Makes for a great "Musicman meets P clonk" spot, subtle but noticeable. I have both my Stingray5s (both 3-coil ceramic) with a switch that selects the neckside coil + inverts the phantom coil (keeps the whole thing a humbucker) when in the single coil position (stock single coil position captures sound from the bridge side coil). It's been my preferred tone out of my SR5s for almost a decade. Previous to that I used factory single coil. I mostly punk/HC/metal the heck out of my SR5s, both plucking or picking, fat and crunchy (mostly SansAmp, cleaned up and with added Darkglassey drive for the heaviest stuff), the increased mids/lo-mids of the neckside coil produce a certain character I really enjoy.
Can you share your wiring for this please?
