Series/parallel switch on stack knob jazz?

[Mushroo]

Hi gang, is it possible to install a series/parallel switch on a concentric stack knob jazz bass? (Probably with some kind of mini switch, since AFAIK you can't get a push/pull concentric pot.) My instinct tells me there would be some weird interactions between the controls, but I am curious if anyone has first-hand experience. Thanks!

No experience, but it'll work. It's just four pots and a switch. When in series only one V/T knob will work, but it's like that anyway.

Yep, exact same schematic as other series/parallel configs.

Thanks for the answers, guys! Just to make sure I understand what you are saying, when series mode is activated, one set of volume/tone pots is completely removed from the circuit?

Oh, one more question, what if there is a master volume/blend instead of two volumes, is series/parallel an option in that case?

That's right; when in series the two coils become wired as one HB pickup because the hot from one coil is connected to the ground of the other coil and its controls are bybassed.

Don't know about working with the blend pot...never used or seen one. I'd guess it might work depending how its set.
