Hey guys, i'm WaaD, and i'm new :rockya
so i've had this bass for a while now, and i've already painted it and modified it a couple of times, its kinda a junker. My guitarist gave me the idea to put a guitar humbucker and single coil in it to make it sound meaner and be a tone monster. the only thing is, i've never done a wiring job this complicated. i have no idea where to start, i want to keep the other two humbuckers and just add in the humbucker at the bridge and the single coil on the neck for tone, and have a pickup selector. i already have all the parts, i'm just not sure if i should wire the new pickups in on a new volume and tone set or use the exhisting ones, and i have never added a switch before.
this is the diagram, i figured i've only seen people asking for advice if they have a diagram for it, and the way my bass is wired is exact to this.
