Hi, I have a passive Jazz bass with 2 humbuckers and 3 pots. I would like to have series/parallel and coil-splitting capabilities - it would also be great if I could switch between north and south coils, when in single coil mode. I have 3 pots, and therefore 3 switches to potentially play with (I don't want to do any additional drilling). I can't find any wiring diagrams that address my wish list. Does anyone have anything on hand that would? Thanks!

The important part is what kind of humbuckers you have in there.
Traditionally-shaped J-style pickups have room for two kinds of humbuckers, a split-coil, or a phantom-coil (usually called a stack).
The split-coil type will NOT do coil-splitting, because it would effectively turn OFF the signal from half your strings.
The phantom-coil type (or what Fender calls Noiseless) could be coil-split for ONE coil, but not both, because you'd get no signal from the phantom-coil.
