What are the options on that?
Edit; including just jazz ones, all pups, just p pups. ?

You could wire it with the strat style switch and get the option of, just neck, neck/mid, just mid, mid/bridge, or just bridge(5 switch postions)
Some guys use strats with an extra switch that puts all pups on at once.
I think the most effective way to keep it a bass would be three volumes and a tone knob.
How many holes is the bass drilled for?

When I see basses with that pickup configuration I think maybe they do two volume and a tone. And you us the top precision split with the neck jazz and the bottom with the bridge jazz.

separating the split coil to make precision/jazz humbucker. But thats me being experimental and adventurous. Three volume knobs would be best. If you're okay with no tone knob, a lot of guys don't use them(I need them)

This idea I like, may look into it.


Well honestly I'd like a 3 way switch between
-jazz pups
-all pups
-precision pup.

Is that possible.

Thankyou so much for this a couple of questions though.
By ground pickup is that the other wire from the split p?
And correct me if I'm wrong doesn't an ouput have two wires going to it.

If you're on a metal control plate or shielded properly, there is no need for a jack ground, though many prefer to run a wire across the back of each pot to the jack, as a means of securing a non-mechanical connection.

I leave the grounds off of my diagrams, because everyone has their preferred method of doing them.

I've been thinking to do something similar. My idea was to run separate circuits to select the sets (e.g. J only and P only with appropriate volume and tone controls for each) and then the possibility to blend them somehow (my planning has only got to this point).
