3way 4pole rotary switch pickup selector.

Post by Foveon » Tue Jun 23, 2015 11:38 am

Hey guys.

I'm new to this forum, so I don't know if this question has been covered or not but here goes:

I have a PJ bass project going and I'm done with evertything but the soldering.
My problem is this:

I have a Shadow Kill pot for volume, a fender 500k tone pot, og a 3way 4pole rotary switch for a pickupselector. But I cant figure out how to wire the switch
(Keep in mind, its my first time soldering and changing pickup config :whistle: ).
The combinations I want are:
1) Neck only
2) Neck + Bridge (Or series)
3) Bridge Only
I found this diagram but I'm not shure if it is that simple:

Any help would be greatly appreciated! ;D

Firstly, welcome! This is a great forum, full of nice, knowledgeable members.
A while back I wired up a 3-way/4-pole switch and used that same diagram, but found I had to reverse the leads coming from the bridge and neck pickups.
The cool thing about fretless is you can hit a note...and then renegotiate.
