Has anyone played around with using two output jacks? I know most people probably think that's stupid but what I want to achieve is having two single coil pickups wired to seperate output jacks with seperate volume and tone controls. That so far, I believe I've managed to figure out. But what I also want is to have the seperate volume and tone controls continue to run without affecting one another if I send one pickup to both outputs, or both pickups wired in series to both outputs. What I'm worried about here is the potential for Output Jack A to be affected when you turn Output Jack B's volume and tone controls.

Here's the diagram I have so far, although instead of having a master volume blend pot, I'd like to have two volumes. Doesn't change the wiring though. It's going to be for Jazz Bass style 5 string pickups:

So basically, because both output jacks will be connected through the pickup(s) in series mode or in parallel neck or bridge alone position, I'm thinking that this will force the controls of one output jack to affect the tone/volume of the other jack, except when in parallel mode with both pickups selected, which should isolate the two.

Does anyone know how I could isolate each control circuit so they don't affect each other? This way you can turn down the volume of one output to single out the other, and be able to blend it in smoothly. The idea is to be able to have "treble" and "bass" amps and be able to control them both onboard the instrument.

I've been wanting to do a bass like this for some time now.
