Wiring gurus!! Urgent help needed.

[Diego]

This is the wiring schematic for my Ibanez:



As you can see, it's two humbuckers, two volume pots, and a 12 pole 3-way switch that splits the humbuckers in the middle position.

Is there anyway I can wire this to get a master volume pot?

I have a gig in 2 days and one of my volume pots died. I'd like a quick fix for the moment and buy another pot next week.
So just one master volume instead of two independant volumes.

Can it be done? How? Thanks!

Seems to me you would wire the pup that's connected to the dead pot the same to the good pot.

I actually found the answer in the Ibanez forum. It's a lot more complicated than just that, I thought the same at the beginning.

What the hell, I'll go buy a pot tomorrow.

With the current setup, the pups go the volume controls, then the volume controls go to the selector switch. You want the pups to go to the selector switch, and then the switch to the single volume control.

Thanks Artie! I'm not sure I'll do it but I'll save that diagram, it could come handy eventually.

Wire the pickups to the switch and then from the switch to the pot you want to be the master volume
