What I want to end up with is an Ibanez RG570 with the stock 5 way switch, one volume knob for the bridge pickup, one volume for the middle/neck, no tone. Anybody have a diagram that'll do the trick?

I will have in about 8 hours. :wink:
In the mean time, here's how you do it:
You're 5-way should have two independent sections. You wire up the neck and middle to one side as normal. Run its "common" out to the "clockwise" lug of one volume control.
Wire up the bridge pup to the "normal" terminal of the 5-way, but on the opposite side. Wire its "common" terminal to the clockwise lug of the other volume.
Then wire the two volume "wipers" together, and on to the output jack. This will esentially give you the LP style dual-volumes, but in a 3 pup design.
Film at eleven. :laugh2:

Problem: H/S/H design> HBs must be split in 2 & 4 positions...>
Second switch pole tied to application ...
Compromise solution~::
Bridge pup to volume A, output volume A to bridge pup hot on switch ...
Switch hot output to volume B ...
Note...
One pot linear, one log (current volume linear, current tone log) ...>
Select which for desired application ...>
Functionary note:
utput volume will control neck & middle ...>
Will also be master volume for bridge as well...>
Bridge volume only controls bridge.
