Advice on 3 pickup bass wiring

[Joe Basso]

Hi everyone!

I know that there are a few threads on this already, but I'm planning a slightly different config than what I am seeing.

I'm building a partscaster p-bass with a jazz bass neck. I'm going to add a mudbucker between the P pup and the neck, and a Danelectro style lipstick humbucker in the bridge with a 4way custom telecaster switch and 3 volumes 1 master tone and a phase switch.

Can anyone advise me on a wiring diagram for this? Planning to wire the front and bridge pickups together post volume and pre-switch so switch positions will be:
- P only
- All pickups series between p and bridge/neck combo
- All pickups parallel between p and bridge/neck combo
- Bridge and neck combo only

Also, any suggestions on whether to put the phase switch on the bridge pickup or the neck pickup? (anyone know which one flips on the classic EB2-d?)

EB-2D basses didn't have a phase switch, that was the "baritone switch" which was a circuit that essentially just cut a ton of bass out of the signal and gave a very twangy sound. I believe the circuit was called the EB Choke but I'm not sure. I just know it was not a phase reversal

You're right. It's a high pass filter, not a phase.

OP: Reversing phase to cut lows will only work when two pickups are on. The EB switch works with any pickup switch position.
