Single Humbucker wiring.

I plan on wiring a bass that I am going to make with a single humbucker. I was wondering what the best way to wire it would be with a volume pot for each half of the humbucker, a tone pot, and a polarity switch. please :help:
 
It sounds like you're just wiring each half of the humbucker as if it were a separate pickup with its own volume control. If that's right, you should be able to use any typical Jazz Bass V/V/T wiring diagram. That will only work if your pickup has 4 leads (a hot and a ground for each coil), though, and the pickup will be wired in parallel mode.
