mini toggle tone circuit

[fiddlehead802]

Just finished a h/h jazzmaster.
Vol/tone/3 way switch/mini toggle tone circuit
I wanted two diff. Value tone caps, one for neck and one for bridge.
.015 and .022
The mini toggle works great. On/off/on
The center position is off which bypasses the tone.
Really easy to wire up and sounds good.

This can be done with a DPDT On/On/On, externally jumpered to SP3T, as well. The DPDT On/On/On mini toggles are usually easier to find.

That's cool. I didn't have any trouble finding the on/off/on. Two cool things about this setup is that 1. You can use either cap on either pickup. 2. You have tone on or off with the flip of the switch.

here's a pic. the toggle fit between the tone and jack.

I used an on/on/on  with a one pickup bass - .015, .033 and the middle adds them to .048. It was an EMG-HZ pickup, very bright, and they recommend a .047, but it was fretless and short-scale so I wanted to make sure I could get some kind of presence there. It works.
