Nah the one I posted would work. It's the same as standard Gibbo wiring if you leave out the tone pots. And that works. Somehow.
That wiring will not work. I had a Telecaster Deluxe wired that way, it does not work. One volume off in both mode means both pickups off. If Gibsons work then it is because they use my wiper technique, not hot line into the outer lug and output from the wiper.
Seriously mate, read what I have written. If you turn off one pot you are dragging the output (which you have connected to another pot output) to ground. If you connect any signal to ground it is ground. The Jazz Bass method works because when the pot is off it grounds the pickup and not the output signal, which is separated by the pot value from ground.
Get two pots out and breadboard it if you have to, I'm 100% right.
This will work:
can i ship the pups and everything to you, you wire it and then ship it back?
i keed.
oh, and one LAST THING. let's say i wanted to not do humbys and wanted to do jazzy pups or P-90s, then your jazz bass wiring scheme would still work, yeah?

Yep, it's pickup invariant. make sure you ground the ground wires on the pickups. I omitted them for clarity.

gotcha...i won't lie...i'm dead-convinced i will end up with a semi-working scheme,much like my Esuire, which works well, but doesn't do exactly what i was going for...lol...but each project gets me closer to where i can actually wire a guitar. LOL

This solves the problem at the middle position of the selector switch in which turning down one volume control affects both pickups
Guitars come like this as stock? That's retarted.

Almost as retarted as not listening to me when I'm going out of my way to explain some shit to you.

Don't feel bad. People have tried to explain shit to me all my life. What threw me is that all the gibbon wiring diagrams I could find were also wrong. I'm sure that epi sg I used to have didn't do this shit.

Epis aren't Gibsons, wired slightly differently. My Epi SGs shot stock wiring was weird to me.
