Jazz bass wired in series

@fig I've tried messing with your shunted schematic in DIYLC. It's not recognizing your shunted vol pots. Have you tried this config? It's reading pickups working correctly, but not that the volume pots will act as volume pots.
This one?

If so, yeah, it works fine. It was introduced in here a few years ago by member walterw. Some folk started installing it and liked it. I eventually breadboarded it to test the 3pdt series/parallel circuit I came up with, just to see if the switch logic worked out. Everything worked fine. Wasn't interested in the series/parallel thing so I never installed it. Disassembled the breadboard a few hours later.

Will the program you use recognize 'attenuator' as a separate component instead of 'pot'?

If that's not the shunted schematic you're referring to, then I just wasted valuable internet space LOL.

It may not. I did get it to work with VV shunt as both parallel and series - as far as signal routing goes. It read both parallel and series. It's a cool circuit. I'll post if I'm able to actually test it. Neck vol pulls up for solo neck, bridge vol pulls up for series, and tone pulls up to double cap value.
