Mini switch pickup selector

Recommended Posts

Hi!

I'd like to (or have to) replace my blend pot. on my jazz bass with a mini switch so that it'll give me neck-both(parallel)-bridge.
So, can someone please help me by telling me which switch I'll need and how to wire it?
I've tried to read up on it and I've found a few different solutions, but I can't tell which one's right.

Thanks. :)

You'll be needing either a single pole or double pole, ON-ON-ON type. Alternatively go bigger and just fit a pickup selector switch in a slightly enlarged hole.
This kind, probably available far more chaply locally! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-On-On-On-DPDT-Round-Bat-Mini-Switch-BLACK-CHROME-/360866610681?hash=item5405537df9:g:xT8AAOSwnDZUIXu6

Is the bass active or passive? If it is passive, and you are removing the blend pot, why not consider wiring the bass in the conventional V-V-T?

I'm about to install a preamp, so the pot's will be vol., treb. and bass and a switch for pickup selection.
