When I got my Gibson Blackbird bass, it was allready modded and set up like a Les Paul with 2 vol, 2 tones, and 3 way switch. 90% of the time, I run it with both pickups engaged and the tone knob rolled off on the neck pickup.
I also have a stock Gibson Thunderbird IV, and would like to mod it's controls to achieve the same result as the Balckbird - but without drilling any new holes for extra pots/switches. My idea is to have the first knob be the tone control for the neck pickup - followed by the three way switch - then a master volume which would affect anything coming from the 3 way switch. The bridge pickup would have no tone roll off - and would just be wired "hot" all the time.
One thing also to note - the capacitor in my Thunderbird IV is the stock small orange one. The ones in the Blackbird look like Green Chicklet gum. I know that's not a very technical description - but thought I'd mention it.
Can anyone show me a simple diagram of how I would wire this?
