P-J 2 knob wiring

[Twigman]

I am still contemplating my P-J build.....

First I was on the hunt for a stacked concentric 250k knob so that I could have the jack in the plate and still have a tone control.

but I couldn't find one that would fit my chosen knobs....

so then I thought about going 3 knob Fender Precision Special style but I've never had a side jack before and to me it just seems sort of [i]wrong[/i]....

Now I don't really ever use the tone on my P-bass....it's always tuned to max (perhaps that why I hanker after a J neck pup?) and was wondering if I really needed a tone knob.

I am close to ordering my body and need advice....

So how would the wiring look if I just had a volume for each pup?
Would I miss the tone knob?

In my mind balancing the volumes between the 2 pups would provide the tone......what am I missing?

pup 1 into log pot 1
pup 2 inot log pot 2
grounds to sleeve of jack
hot wire from each pot into tip of jack.
easy.
you will prob end up wanting the tone though, what knobs do you want?

Just standard vintage style but the one's I have are imperial to go on std CTS pots (15/64" I think)

I found a stacked concentric 250k pot but the shafts were both too fat for the matching knobs (17/64" lower / 3/16" upper)...the only 250k stacked concentric pot I can find is out of stock everywhere and has 8.2mm lower and 6.25mm upper ( which are much larger)

Problem solved.
My electronics chap is going to convert a 250k/500k to a 250k/250k
