Question about loading pickups with resistors

[Top-L]

When I did this a couple years ago, this was the combination that made a 500K vol sound like a 500K/500K.

223 + color + color. You can probably look up with the color bands mean, I would have to go back and find the bags.

It worked great but when I took the guitar out of storage, the output on the guitar was erratic so I ripped it out. One of the resistors may have failed. Don't have my multimeter or the inclination to figure out what happened.

( I can see now I had just twisted them together to test. I think the problem was I didn't solder them and it never got past prototype. But it did sound just like a 500/500. Better than a single 250K which was a bit darker.)

I literally forgot how I did this two years ago.

I don't have a capo.

Also, my question is, though, if I solder the resistor to the output jack, would that mean it's still parallel to the pot? I mean, technically, it would be connected to the middle lug rather than outer lugs of the pot that way, no?

The setup, I don't think I made it clear is pickup - 500K volume pot - output jack. I followed this diagram:View attachment 6326192

I'm sorry if the question is obvious. I'm just trying to learn.

Yes what Freefrog said.
When i said it would be the same i thought you had the pickup hot on the pots wiper( middle lug). I usually wire pots like that.
