Rexel Matador Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Hi, I'm thinking about wiring a bass with two humbuckers, with a volume for each and a master tone. So pretty much like a standard Jazz, except with humbuckers. Every wiring diagram I see for two humbuckers, though, seems to include a pickup selector even if they have independent volume controls. I was just wondering if I'm missing something and not having a selector will cause some kind of issue that I haven't thought of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliasMooseblaster Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 The selector really isn't necessary; the only issue I can envision is if you one day find yourself wanting to switch quickly between pickups mid-song! Surprised you can't get hold of a wiring diagram for something like a Gibson Thunderbird - those are typically two HBs with a V/V/T control setup.

Thanks, as long as it's not technically necessary, it's all good - that's what I needed to know. I'll have a look for a Thunderbird diagram, thanks - I hadn't thought of that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexel Matador Posted November 12, 2019 Author Share Posted November 12, 2019 I now see that SD has a wiring diagram for two Jazz stacks, which pretty much fits the bill 👍 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
