Thanks for that! It looks to be a active/passive switch! So does that wiring diagram mean I could change the function of the switch too? Even though at the minute the switch is missing on my bass and since its fell off the bridge pup wont work...

That sounds like the coil-tap switch and not the active/passive switch.

It sounds to me like his coil-tap switch is broken, that's why the humbucker which goes through that switch is not working. He didn't realise that the active/passive switch was the push/pull on the vol/bal control.

Yup! My switch fell off, don't know how... Now I know (and feel quite silly :blush: ) about the active passive pull pot I probably won't pull the active stuff out. At the minute though it's causing me issues and I don't use it so I still may... The battery has come unconnected but thats just an easy solder fix. It's the switch that's the main issue now. Here's a couple of pics to hopefully clear things up a bit!
