Bypass switch?

[alex1fly]

If I wanted to wire up two humbuckers with 2 volumes and 2 tones, using the volumes as blender pots, how would I bypass the switch?

Take a look at this diagram for 1 humbucker, 1 vol, and 1 tone. See the two wires that go to the output jack? Do that for both pups.

Make sense?

Yes it does. I figured it was something simple like that. Thanks!

But swap over the two black connections on the volume pot, or when you turn either pickup to 0 you'll mute both.

Would you mind explaining "swap over?"

[Sporky McGuffin]

Well, on that diagram you have 3 black wires connected to the volume pot.

One comes from the pickup and connects to the left-hand lug. One goes to the tone pot and also connects to the left-hand lug. The last one goes off to the output jack and connects to the middle lug.

Swap so that the two that currently go to the left-hand lug go to the middle lug instead, and the one that currently goes to the middle lug goes to the left-hand lug instead.

That way you won't mute everything by turning one pickup down to 0.

Great, that makes sense. Thanks a lot!
