tonepot for bridgepickup strat

[Stinooo]

My bridgepickpup is replaced by a Little '59 minihumbucker, but the tonepotconfiguration is still the original strat one (except that the lowest tonepot has a push/pull function). I want one tonepot to control only the bidgepickpup, to get a warmer tone. The other tonepot has to control the other singlecoils. I couldn't find the right wiring schematics on the SD site. Can someone help me with this problem?

Move the middle pup's tone control wire over to the bridge lug (the empty lug on the tone control side of the switch ..ie where the tone control wires hook, yeah, ... that side of the switch), after you move that there, run a jumper wire from the where the neck tone control joins the switch to that middle lug (the one you moved the first wire from, that's now empty) on the switch.
You're done, First tone (what was the neck) controls neck and middle, and the second tone (what was the middle) controls the bridge. Done.

Re: tonepot for bridgepickup strat

I read the post again, and one thing isn't 100% clear for me. I understand the first part (changing mid-tone-wire to bridge position on the switch). But what do you mean with the 'jumper wire'? Is it an ordinary wire from the switch-mid-lug to the switch-neck-lug or what?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah, dude, or dudedess (screen name non-gender specific), yeah you just solder a piece of wire across those so that the neck tone control wire *jumpers* and connects to both connections. You got it straight.
