Would this wiring make sense? I guess I should say, work?

I am hoping someone out there can determine if this would work or if I am way off base.

I tried to patch it together from different wiring diagrams I found online.

Basically, I wanted to have 1 master volume, two tone pots and a bass cut control.

Sorry if it is a bit messy and/or makes no sense. This is the first time I have tried to do this.



Any help that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

I would love to see how this works out, been looking for a different wiring for my JM

Bump...I hope to start wiring it this weekend.

I think everything makes sense to me and may main concern is the tone pots for the two pickups.

Anyone see anything wrong?

I'm a bit rusty on wiring diagrams, but everything looks okay to me.

Thanks for the reply. I was not positive about the tone pots to ground off the three way switch. The bass cut does not need a ground connection because it is acting as a filter? Thanks again for replying. I think this will be great for adding the Tele style bridge pickup.

You don't want to connect the tone pot to both the middle and right lugs on the switch there. That'd make it so that pickup is always on in every position.

Oh and if it were me I would use a 50k pot for the bass cut. That would give a much more usable range.

Thanks for the reply.

So are you referring to the wire coming from the bridge pickup to the right lug on the three way? If so that little connection from that lug to the center is a piece I meant to erase...I did not even notice until you just mentioned it.

Okay, so swapping the two tone roller pots would be the way to go with the bass cut then? I would just the exiting 50k tone pot from the rhythm circuit as the bass cut pot and use the 1 Meg volume pot from the rhythm circuit as the neck's dedicated tone pot then. Would I use a different value cap in that scenario?

Thanks for the help!

So, I worked on getting this wired up this weekend and was surprised that most of it seems to work...I do have a problem though. When in the middle pickup position both tone pots affect both pickups...

I guess what I need to do is to move the tone pots off the 3 way switch... I want the tone pots for each pickup to have no change on the other pickup. Would I just run the lead wire from each pickup directly to its tone pot, instead of both going to the switch?

I am also having a hard time telling if the bass cut is doing what it is supposed to do...maybe when I get strings on I can tell, but right now it seems to really drop the volume of the pickups, but that could just be removal of the bass.

Any ideas on either of those items?

I neded up using the lower option on this pic for the bass cut:
