In 1951 Leo Fender invented the first solidbody bass guitar. He called it the Precision Bass. But that's another story. This is a diagram for how the pick-ups are wired to the potentiometers and the input on the precision bass. The C1 is a .022mfd capacitor. Both the potentiometers should be 500k for the best tone.

thanks everybody who gave me friendly advice for improving this writeup and thanks those who edited it to make it work.
