Wiring Diagram for Custom G&L MFD Humbucker Setup

You may or may not want to add the 0.001µf (1 nF) cap to the tone knob to tame the pickups down some.

Yep that diagram works. As I mentioned above, the stock MFD pickups are not k-type pickups. So they needed to be wired according to the Daveplaysbass way in order to have them in single coil mode. If you only want series and parallel, then this does not matter. I attached a document which details this further.

o cool thanks. No, I do intend to have series/parallel/single coil from the 3-way switch

So I'm planning on using these kinds of 3-way switches for on-on-on operation. They have four rows of lugs, whereas the diagram shows 3-way switches with 3 rows of lugs. How do I translate the daveplaysbass wiring to the 4 lug rows? Link up the two middle rows?

I looked at it for a bit and couldn't figure it out. Maybe someone smarter than me can help you out. This powerpoint PDF should get you started though.
