HELP: Tech advice on A-B-ing PUPS?

Folks
I want to A-B number of PUPs in a number of basses. As I have the soldering skills of the average Koala (trust me, never ask a Koala to redo your electrics), I was thinking I could connect the existing leads soldered to the pots to those from the respective PUPs via some form of mini junction box until I find the combination I'm happy with, at which point I can start soldering. Anyone got any advice or products that will make this less disasterous than it's currently promising to be?
Cheers
Chris

A terminal block will work. Available from Wickes, B&Q etc but if you try a more specialist Electrician's supply you may find a smaller size terminal block. I think I have one instrument with a terminal block permanently installed as I had left my soldering iron elsewhere when working on it. A terminal block also lets you mess with settings such as parallel, series, single coil options, in a dual coil multiwire pickup provided you know which wires does what, even if you don't you could mess about with it and you'll know which two wires will work for which coil.
