Wire dilemma.

Hey guys, I have a huge favor to ask, I'm in the process of modding my Jazz bass and heres the point where I run into trouble. My J bass has two MONO outputs (I wanted it that way) plus a tone and volume pot for each pick up and a three way selector. I want to wire it so that both pick ups run to both outputs. The pick ups are baselines Hot Stack Jazz. Any ideas on how I would go about this?
 
If I'm reading this right, you just want both output jacks to have the same signal?

I guess if you want to keep your control setup the same, follow a Les Paul, SG, guitar diagram to the first output jack, then jumper that over to the second.
 
or skip the whole thing, wire it stock, and split the signal downstream. (by "stock", i suppose a gibson les paul guitar diagram would work for what you want.)

your best results will come from splitting the signal after a buffer, otherwise each output would basically be getting half the signal strength.
