Passive-fying my TMB100

So I got this bass on trade for a bass I didn't like. Being not a fan of active electronics I decided to make this a passive bass. I ordered the concentric pots that I would need and away we go. I didn't have the money to replace the pickups, so stock is going to have to do. Not a hard operation but I have a small problem. Whenever both pickups are at full volume it cuts out to about 40% output. I read in a forum somewhere else that I need to put two resistors into the circuit.

To answer some people, because this was a question/discussion that has come up, yes it is possible.
