Series/parallel switch

Hello fellow low enders.

I am redoing an older bass i have (paintjob and stuff). It is an ibanez btb400. But i chose to not put the active circuit back. Just a regular volume/blend/tone circuit. But i want to wire a switch in the 4th hole for series parallel. Does anyone know how to wire that in. I want to fill the holes so i dont want to use a pushpull.

Perhaps anyone knows something fun for the fifth hole?

Thanks.
 
You can't easily do series/parallel AND a balance, you could switch to Volume/Volume or install a Bass-Cut knob, like what G&L implements in their L-2000.

If your bass is using MK1 Bartolini, they're already split-coil pickups, wiring them in series would be FOUR coils in series & probably equal mud.
If they're full-length humbuckers, expect even more mud.
