J/MM Wiring Diagram?

Alright, follow-up question... is it possible to wire two pickups to one volume pot, then to the jack? No switches? No tone pot, etc... just two pickups, one vol pot, one output jack?

And if so what would the wiring be?

Thanms again
 
Totally possible. You just have to decide if you want them in series or parallel. Parallel would be the most common in most two pickup configurations. Wire each pickup's ground lead to ground, then wire both pickup's hot leads to the third terminal on the volume pot. Then wire the middle leg of volume to the jack, and the first leg to ground, as usual.

If you want them in series, put the MM's ground wire on ground, and it's hot wire on the J's ground wire. Then the J's hot wire goes to the volume pot.
