Wiring Jaguar for Series/Parallel using the bass-cut switch?

Johnophean

Hey everyone this is my first post and I need some help.

I want to be able to do something that I can't see how can be that complicated...but somehow I cannot find any instructions on how to do this without doing the more common series mod of both switches down.

I want to use the bass cut switch instead. The switch is not doing anything right now as it was used for a third pickup the guitar used to have and when I returned it back to a dual single coil Jag I just left the cap out and left it unused...it's just inactive.

I just want to be able to make the two single coils combine into a displaced humbucker at the flick of the old unused bass cut...is it that hard?

I saw a link on here using search but I can't actually find the dudes diagram and looks like he hasn't been on since 2006 so I'm wondering if anyone else has any digrams for this mod.

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this? Schematics and or photo's of the custom wiring would be amazingly helpful...been searching all day and most of last nite and still can't find exactly what I'm after here.

Hope to here from anybody soon. 🤷

Heres the two I drew, the 1st is series/parallel AND bass cut, the second is series parallel AND phase reversal, both work as I drew them so I know they work.(besides other people have used them and verified them)There is no off position on the jag switches anymore which is no big deal anyways.

WOW great diagram!!!! Thanks alot!

I'm just a little confused about the "bridge pickups claw must be ground with a separate wire (you need to dissconnect it from the black wire first) instructions. What do you do exactly?

Thanks man. 😀

Well ordinarily the claw is grounded to the black pickup lead, you must desolder it and ground it separately to ground as the bridge pickup positive and grounds switch and positive becomes negative and negative becomes positive when you flick the switch. If the claw isn't grounded separately it induces a whole bunch of noise,like when you hold a guitar lead plug. So basically just de-solder the bridge claw and ground the claw to the volume pot or guitars shielding with all the other grounds, then wire the pickups as is indicated in the diagram.
