How's my diagram look? (Single Hum, 1 Vol P/P Series Parallel, 1 Tone P/P Coil Split)

Posted this on another forum as well, and thought it made sense to come to Seymour Duncan too.

I recently purchased a Squier Jaguar Bass H and wanted to have fun with wiring. I picked up another MM4 sized humbucker with exposed pole pieces, plus some push pull pots for small wiring project.

I drew up a diagram after looking around online a bit...I think I have it right...not too sure yet. Still waiting on my pots to arrive in the mail, so I will test soon.

Cheers

Looks good, but double check you haven't created an "all dead" or an out of phase combination.

Best way to do that is to write down the path starting at ground and ending up at the volume pot, tracing each wire set and each of the four (2 times 2) switch position combinations.

Anyone else care to chime in? I still haven't gotten around to wiring this up. Maybe get it done during Thanksgiving break

I have successfully used this wiring quite a bit over the years on 2 HB guitars Normally wire the bridge with the parallel option and use the other side of the coil cut PP to cut the neck pup. Middle position options besides normal both pups are obviously both cut to inner coils or Bridge parallel with Cut neck.or Bridge in parallel with Neck in series

Works well on guitars with fairly hot Bridge pups like JB. Duncan Designed 102 s and Iron Gear Dirty Torque .which sound good in parallel played clean. For some pups others may still prefer just individual coil cuts as parallel wiring is disliked by some.on less hot pups .On less hot pups parallel tone can usually be improved by wiring a small cap in parallel which is in the circuit in parallel mode.. Don't understand the exact theory but understand it sweetens the highs.

For a 2 HB guitar this wiring works well with Artie's coil swap if you have another PP or can fit in a mini DPDT .I usually wire so that when coil swap and parallel are both engaged you get Bridge slug and Neck screw in parallel.
