You can notice them between the tonepot. I had to turn volumepots around, so it would actually fit.. But you can puzzle it out :smoke:

You can also wire the switch first into the schematic, then you can find out if you really like it.. and after that drill a hole for it.

Good luck![/quote]

ah. i had tried turning pots 90 degrees, but didnt think theyd fit back in the whole. ill have to try 180 degrees.


thanks.


EDIT: I figured out, Im going to use the lower front screwhole for the control plate. Im going to enlarge the cavity right under it, and put the switch there.

Wouldn't enlarge it.. Just make the holes for the pots a bit bigger, so you can move them a bit. Then you get that one mm that you need :thumb:

A controlplate is cheaper then a new body is..

..why?

And would there be a problem in adding this switch to a bass with a stock p and j pickup?

I tried it with my P and it wasnt my thing so I wired it back (not to mention it ate like half of my pickups output)

Well, mines a PJ.

There shouldnt be any problem, I dont think. Just wire it up like in the diagram, it should be fine.

K, I was just wondering because ones a single coil and ones a humbucker. Thanks Lews.

Nope, itll be fine. I dont know how it'll sound, but it should work. You can do it with humbucking J style pups, so yea.

Question:

Edge, I think it was, had his bass with a series/parallel switch for each pup.

How much different would be this from the diagrams Kilian posted and is it worth the extra work?

Its the same for each pup as the diagram Kilian posted. Humbucking pickups like that (Model J, Ultra J, Edge had one of those) have 4 conductors, a hot and a ground for each coil. Just use those 4 wires instead of the 2 from each pup like in the diagram, youll be all set.
