No harm, no foul!
Drill the bass for what? I'm replacing the pickup's volume control with a push/pull. Isn't that all I need to get the 2 coil taps working? My question is if it can be done with an SPST instead of a DPDT, but at this point I'm satisfied with a DPDT. My only concern is the size when getting it back into the bass. I have a cheaper Bourns (the smallest) and a better CTS (the largest).In the hand drawn pic, it shows a single pole, double throw switch. Just use one of those, wire the two pickup leads to the outside terminals and the center to the volume pot. It's easier, but you have to drill the bass and I didn't know if you wanted to do that.
I'm fairly certain that you can't get a st/dp push pull switch on a potentiometer. Too limited a market. It makes more sense from a manufacturing viewpoint just to make dt/dp push pull pots, because you can do more with them. That's why I wasn't certain if you were going with a mini-toggle or not. I don't like drilling into vintage anything, but something that is in production and widely available is another story. Personally, I've never drilled into any of my guitars, except to change tuners.Drill the bass for what? I'm replacing the pickup's volume control with a push/pull.
