Wiring question re: splits on Strat 5 Way

[BigJoe77]

I can't seem to find the answer to this one and can't connect the dots in my brain.

If I am using the wiring diagram for 3 stacks with splits, which connection should I make to ensure the bridge has a tone control? I'm pretty sure the light blue/purple line I have in the pic below is wrong. Is the orange one correct or will this screw with the splits?

Thanks in advance.

for a bridge tone control
just the ORANGE jumper is needed

Wouldn't the orange jumper give you bridge+middle in 3 positions? It would work if on a separate pole.

I'd eliminate the orange jumper, use the blue/purple wire and eliminate the black one from the bottom tone to the middle white wire. You would have no tone on the middle PU.

That orange jumper idea is completely wrong.

The connections to the individual tone pots take their signals from the same switch lugs as the pickups on which they act.

In short, shift the black wire shown leaving the lug with Middle PU White wire across to the lug with the Bridge PU White wire.
