Can anyone help me out with a wiring diagram?

I’m attempting to rewire my PJ bass and I want it to be master volume, 3 way switch (LP style), master tone.

The more detail the better because I’m definitely new to soldering.

These are the actual Gibson leaf switch. The box switch is pretty much the same though. The pickups go on the outside two contacts and the wire to the volume control goes on the middle. This is for guitar so you’ll want to adjust the capacitor value.

Should you decide to purchase a ready-to-go harness, instead, I suggest reaching out to Jeremy at Short Circuit Electronics through his Reverb store. He was fast to reply, very easy to work with and in no time, we hashed out what was needed for my particular bass.
And, if you decide to get all DIY on your P/J, good luck and let us know how it sounds! :thumbsup:
