@Hellzero is absolutely right about this, @bagsieblue.  Holding a wire against a contact just doesn't cut the mustard with bass and guitar electrics.  I know, because I've tried that myself in the past ;)

It is also correct that the contacts 2-3 bridge is essential and that on the original circuit board this will be happening within the board.

It should be a 2 min job to solder the contact bridge, @bagsieblue .  If not already done, it's worth doing it because I'm pretty sure that, all else being correct to @Hellzero 's description, it should work.

The series /parallel switch, by the way, often doesn't produce a huge amount of a tonal difference, but you should hear a volume difference through an amp or see it through a DAW wave-form. 

Thanks  - I'll do this when I get some spare time over the next fews days and will report back.
