Wiring Help

Hello all, Started a new bass, and am have some troubles figuring out how to do the wiring.

It will be J/J with a peizo bridge. I would like to have a ON/OFF switch for each pickup including the bridge, and a stacked pot for a master volume and tone (tone on bottom, vol on top)

If you cguys could please help me finish out my wiring diagram id greatly appreciate it!! (Color coding the wires would be AMAZING, but definitely not a must) thank you so much in advance!!!

Cheers,
Evan

The wiring would be like this:

But that's not going to work.
You're mixing very high impedance capacitive pickups with medium impedance inductive pickups, without properly buffering.

Aside from that, I would not want to run a piezo bridge passively. You will have to deal with the effects of cable capacitance, as well as the relatively low input impedance of most amps and pedals meant to be driven by lower impedance inductive pickups or buffers.
