PJ Wiring Question about Jazz Bypass

[bassburner]

I liked the 3 way switch with master volume and tone, except that I would like to control the volumes of the P & J separately. Additionally, I only used either just the P or P & J in parallel so I was thinking of having the VVT setup with a switch to bypass the J.

Then I thought that I really like the P bass setup where the P pickup goes straight to the output with no volume or tone. So I thought perhaps that I would have a switch that would toggle between the standard PJ VVT setup and the P pickup straight to out.

Do these diagrams look correct?

They look fine to me. Why do you think that Seymour Duncan's diagrams would be wrong?

I took the SD diagrams and tweaked them. I removed some of their wires and added in the blue and green lines.

The first diagram is too complicated. You only need to switch the one pot, since the other pot has the same wiring in both modes. Excessive switches and wiring is not a good idea.

The second diagram is ok.

Makes sense. Do you mean something like this?

The switch has no function. Both throws lead to the same thing.

Firstly, are you trying to simulate the effect of the bridge pickup's volume pot on zero, or are you trying to remove the load of the pot?

I'm trying to remove the load of the pot.

Remove the connection to the bottom throw of the switch, and then move the connection from the tone pot and jack, from the bridge pickup's volume pot to the neck pickup's volume pot.

Something like this:

Remove the connection between the tone pot and bridge pickup volume pot.

Doh! What's the equivalent of a drawing typo?

Here it is. And I've added in your tone bypass switch.

Looks good.
