Wiring HSH
I'm working on a guitar build. The body is going to be ysterhout and the neck will be a Warmoth full wenge neck. For pickups I've chosen an Invader for the bridge, a Cool Rails for the mid, and a Jazz Model for the neck.
My idea is to have two concentric 500k pots, with individual volumes for each pickup and a master tone. There will be no switch.
How should I wire this?
Re: Wiring HSH
Welcome to the forum.
The circuit that you describe is, essentially, a variation on the circuit for a traditional Fender Jazz Bass. The only difference is that your pots will be stacked and of 500k DC resistance.
Imagine this http://www.seymourduncan.com/support...=std_jazz_bass with a third volume pot.
The other alternative is the Gibson non-Switchmaster ES-5 circuit. Top left, http://www.guitar-parts.com/images/gibson3.jpg
IMO, stacked pots will be very inconvenient to use - especially under pressure.

Well, I usually set and forget so it doesn't matter to me. How would the jazz bass diagram colors translate to the humbucker colors?
Re: Wiring HSH
On the Fender bass PUs, white (or yellow) equals Hot, black equals ground.
On single conductor + braided shield humbuckers, the inner wire is hot, the steel braid goes to ground.
On SD four conductor + shield humbuckers, the black conductor is hot, red and white are linked, green is PU ground, bare is screening ground.
