Okay so this is the first bass I'm building out of parts. It has sloppy looks, but I need help with the wiring. I'm kind of new to this.
Its a DanElectro Rumor bass body with a Silvertone neck.

How would I wire this? It has two knobs, a volume and tone knob. It has P-bass pickups and a jazz bass pickup. I'm trying to add a 3 way switch. The switch pots or those things you solder the wires to are in line. the pic is of the switch
Theres pics of my bass if it helps

What I'm trying to do is sort of wire it like a Epiphone Korina Explorer bass

A wiring schematic would help a lot and I would appreciate it.

did that switch come with any information?
what you need to know is which connectors are the commons. if you can't find out you can test it with a continuity tester. i would guess that you have two poles that is two switches that do exactly the same thing at the same time. there should be 2 commons, the common is the conductor that is in use in all three positions.
 
Thanks! I figured it out on my own... the Switch came with no info and it was my first time working with one. This took me three days before figuring it out! Its all worth it, My bass plays any sound it wants now.
