Cheers for the reply , i was wondering why it didnt work when i connected it all up . I thought i must've done something wrong . I have now finished wiring it up i think ... this is my latest setup and it sounds good, all i need now is some screws to hold the pickups in place as they're hitting the strings and preventing me from getting a proper play of it .

this is how i ended up wiring it up ,

I'm really surprised actually to see a 250K volume pot after an active circuit. EMG for example use 25K or 50K for volume and pan controls. 250K per track *may* be ok - but hard to guesstimate as I am not familiar with the Schecter circuit.[/quote] I tried wiring it up today but must've done it wrong as there was no sound so i decided just to wire it up with just the one volume pot and it works fine and sounds good too .

Cheers for the advice , i have two sets of pickups to choose from , the original schecter ones and a pair of p bass singlecoil pickups . also i have tried wiring one of the schecter pickups to a jack and it worked ok , really i just wanted to know if the setup in the first picture would work or if there was any additional wiring i needed to do ?

i have a schecter stilleto diamond bass , i got sick of the sound of the 2 band eq so tried changing to p bass style pickups but it still doesnt sound great , i have a p bass style hohner that i really like the sound of and i was wondering if i would be able to strip everything i dont need out of the schecter and use the remaining components to make some kind of basic p bass setup . I have the wiring diagrams , what i want to know is will it work if its set up like this ... here's how the original looks ,
