Possible to wire V/T/T/B

[nice_hat]

I'm going over the wiring in my head and I'm thinking it is theoretically possible to wire a passive bass with 2 single coils to have independent tone for each pickup while still having a master volume and a blend control...

I think in order to do it you would have to go from each pickup to the respective tone, then the blend, then the volume, then out.

I believe V/B/T goes to the blend, then the volume, then the tone. Would putting the tone pot and cap before the blend and volume mess with the function of the circuit?

I have jazz bass with V/V/T/T with separate tone for each pot.
I think it is Gibson 50's wiring diagram and it works fine.
Don't know about combination with balance pot, I'm also interested.

Yep, that will work.

But the two tones will still both act as master tones when the blend is at or near center. It’s still one big circuit.
