Bridge "always on" wiring on HSH?

[matt19894]

Hello all,
This might be a ridiculous question, but when it comes to wiring, I get a little confused sometimes.
I have a HSH guitar with one volume and one tone pot, both push/pulls. I have two Triple Shots, which are alreadywired up, but I don't really know what to do with the pushpulls after seeing all the options I have with the Triple Shots. I heard about "bridge or neck always on" wiring, but I haven't been able to find a diagram for something like that. It also have one of those 5 way switches that have all 8 posts in a straight line, instead of Fender style. If anyone has any advice with what to do with those pots, or if you could help with a diagram, that would be awesome. Thank you!

Wire the bridge pickup directly to the pot and a jumper from pot to first position 5way.

Does it matter which terminal I solder the jumpers to? Sorry, I'm new to wiring. And do I solder the red and white or the black wires to the pot?
Thank you for you fast reply earlier.

Well, If you have those triple shots, all coil arrangements are covered for both humbuckers so, there are some few things else that you can do, but, it depends on how good works for you. Some ideas for pull/push:

To put one pickup out-of-phase (not for everyone).
Bridge-on
To put two pickups in series
Kill-switch
Direct-output (bypassing volume and tone controls)
Direct-bridge-output (bypassing volume and tone controls)
....
Running out of ideas at this moment....

Pickup goes to outer lug of pot. Jumper from that spot to the switch.

@Orpheo, thank you very much for that info, it worked like that perfectly.

@Hermatico, awesome, thanks for those ideas! I think I'll go with a kill switch on the other push/pull.
