Wiring question - is this even possible?

Re: Wiring question - is this even possible?

Would it still be possible to have Tone Control 2 on positions 1, 2, 3, and 4, while Tone Control 1 is on positions 4 and 5?

No.

The trick is, you can't have the #4 thang. There's no way to combine two pups, without combining their electronics. Unless . . .

. . . you add active electronics, ie., an onboard mixer. But you probably don't want to go there.

Oh, well. I expected as much. Again, thank you for the help, though. You too, octavedoctor. Thanks to you guys and your illustrations, I think I understand this stuff a little better.

I think Artie's first suggestion, to just use a single tone control for all positions, is the best one. I intend to install a GraphTech Ghost piezo saddle system, and I can use the second tone knob as a control to mix the piezo and magnetic pickups together.

This is great, it's like watching evolution in action, but my brain is starting to hurrt now so i'm off to bed.:24:
