If you find a split coil Jazz pickup that has close to the same resistance as the P pickup then it will be quiet, and there will be very little volume drop when using the Jazz pickup. The best combination I have found so far, is a Duncan SPB-1 paired with a Fender Super 55 (if you can find one). You want them in parallel

You probably did overreact a bit, but its understandable after being laid up for 3 days.

Aw, dont be so reactive.

THANK YOU for not saying "reactionary." THANK YOU!!!

See y'all in August.

You want tonal variation, but you only want 100/0 and 100/100 volume settings for the two pickups. Those two things contradict each other.

I've got a passive PJ wired in parallel with a VVT control configuration. There is a very slight volume drop with both pups on, but it is not enough imo to make wiring in a resistor worth the trouble.

I was JUST about to write this out myself!! I don't know if it was the pickup height or type of pickups, but I had a set of Bartolini P+J's in a Japanese Ibanez SR800. Whenever I did the P+J full on, there was a volume drop as compared to the P alone. I found that it was minimally noticed when I backed SLIGHTLY off the J volume and left the P full on. Something to keep in mind OP, might want something that you could do a "set it and forget it" config for the J pickup volume. Get it adjusted where you want and then have the push/pull knob to kick it on or off.

FWIW, I really don't think this is a bad idea at all. I'd personally use mine like a scoop switch for popping and slapping. The adding in the J does scoop the midrange out some, so that would be great. Maaannn...now I'm gonna try and wire one of these up at home for myself!
