Hi Talkbass,
I looked for a thread with this info and - while there are a lot with rotary switches - none seem to answer my question.

Pickups are:
Dimarzio dp145 neck
Bartolini MME

I would like a rotary switch on each pickup, then Vol/Tone/Blend to a mono output.

I was planning on using this diagram for the neck rotary switch:
six way rotary switch for two singlecoils or one humbucker

And this diagram for the MME (pg4-5)
http://www.bestbassgear.com/wiring-diagrams/MME-Tri-Coil.pdf

Then, with those completed, use this VBT scheme:
VBT wiring diagram? (Passive Fender Jazz Bass)

Does that sound like it will work?

Would it be possible to add a push/pull for series/parallel of the 2 pups?

Just opinion... a lot of the switching positions would be somewhat mis-matched such as a single coil on one switch, and a series dual coil on the other, it will be a somewhat noisy setup as far as single coil hum, on certain settings, and the push pull series/parallel would not be between 2 similar pickups, since you would already be treating the humbuckers as separated coils, there would be a lot of mis-matches, it would have some bad sounding settings, and maybe a few that sound good, not every possible combination of coils would be useful. The question is ...would you want all those switching options, when just a few would be useful>
