If I want to connect my jazz bass like a pb bass, does the neck pickup negative go to the bridge pick-up negative? Then the bridge positive to ground?

Series parallel with a jazz bass
- Thread starter Pbman

To do series/parallel you must have a switch in the circuit.
Series would be white from one pick-up to tip of jack, black from that PU to white on second PU, black on second PU to sleeve.
Parallel would be both whites to tip, both blacks to sleeve.
Seymour Duncan has a good diagram using a push-pull Potentiometer to switch between series/parallel. I've done this mod and find it worthwhile.

I've done the same to a number of two-pickup basses; J/J's, P/J's and a J/MM. It is a very worthwhile mod to make and one that doesn't cost a lot.
If you want something a little different and fairly simple to install, Jeremy at Short Circuit Electronics makes a number of cool variations on two-pickup systems. (re: I've installed two "Heresy" harnesses and they are neat lil' things!

That guy has some "creative" naming schemes for those wiring harnesses!If you want something a little different and fairly simple to install, Jeremy at Short Circuit Electronics makes a number of cool variations on two-pickup systems.

I'm a little disappointed he didn't code-name his Rick-O-Jazz harness "Vexation" or "Insolence"
Agree. Jeremy make some quality stuff. He mad a harness for my 2 pickup build that I absolutely love. 3 position pickup selector, volume and tone. The volume is push/pull for series/parallel. Highly recommend.Jeremy at Short Circuit Electronics makes a number of cool variations on two-pickup systems. (re: I've installed two "Heresy" harnesses and they are neat lil' things!
