Controlling two pickups with two knobs

[The Dark Lord]

I’ve got a 1999 Fender Precision with P / J pickups.

I’d like to operate both the pickups (volume and tone) from just two knobs – as I like to have the Precision jack socket on top of the pickguard, both for aesthetic reasons ……. and the fact that I have a wireless device that won’t really work with the side jack.

I’m quite happy to use push/pull pots – but I would like the knobs to look like regular knurled Precision knobs – not stacked ones.

Anyone got any ideas how this could be achieved?

you could use a 60's jazz wiring harness - twin knobs, stacked vol/tone for each?

In theory, with two push pull pots you could make them on/off for each pickup (thus allowing one or the other or both (and technically a kill setting also)), then a single master volume and a single tone, but it's an awfully clunky way of doing things just to avoid stacked knobs. Are there no stack knobs which float your boat aesthetically?

Obviously you aren't going to get individual volumes so blending is out, it'll be all or nothing with something like the above. Not a problem for me (I like a switch me, can't stand all this "a little bit of jazz pickup mixed in" stuff - just make mine a P, a PJ or half a J )

I use a stacked pot for volume/volume and an ordinary pot for tone.

Effectinely 3 pots on 2 holes.

Just a thought.

Do you actually want to keep the tone pot ? I only ask this cos i rarely if ever touch mine.

If not, wire it like a Jazz - plenty of Jazz circuit diagrams on the interweb - but leave the tone pot and the capacitor out.

Just get a P/J pick guard = 3 pots + jack
