Blend pot with series / parallel switch

[robert43]

Hi I am thinking of making my Jazz bass in to a blend with series / parallel switch , with 1 volume pot + 1 tone pot.
Can any 1 draw out the diagrame ? thanks

Series_Parallel Blend Pot w/ DPDT switch

You'll need three pots; one for volume, one for tone, and one for blend. The tone pot could be a DPDT push pull pot. Make sure that you use a blend pot and not a pan pot.



Splitting and Tapping
This shows how to do just the series/(one coil)/parallel alone.

I don't understand where it doesn't show the volume & tone. Where do they go?

"Series_Parallel Blend Pot w/ DPDT switch" is a switching/blending module. This connects directly to the pickups.

In your instance, "Downwards" goes to signal ground. "Upwards" is the module output which goes to the volume and tone controls, which are between the switching/blending module and the output jack.

Your volume and tone wiring would be implemented like this:

The "black wire from neck pickup" would be the "Downwards" connection and the "white wire from bridge pickup" would be the "Upwards" connection. This is kind of confusing since this bass only has ONE pickup, but it's in two pieces so "bridge" and "neck" does mean which piece.

Jazz Bass w/Blender and Series/Parallel switching is exactly the encapsulation of the information that I linked to, along with the posts of members from a previous thread (that got out of hand here: blend pot Q) that arrived at the same design that you want.

Done was.

Thanks for that
