I’m happy to hear that everything worked out regarding the switch assembly, electronics installation and overall sound.
The control layout looks interesting. You put the filter frequency control closest to the strings? And that control plate caught my attention too. Did your bass start its life as a version of a stack-knob Jazz Bass?

the bass is a 2009 fender jazz bass deluxe series. it had 3 regular knobs, master, pan, and tone, with 1 stacked bass and treble knob. I ordered a new 3 hole plate from fender, and I decided to have the orientation swapped so I had more room for the filter module(where fender had their preamp placed) and switch mod without having to route out the bass body, or drill an extra hole through the metal plate for the switch. I dont mess with blending the pick ups that often but I mess with the tone(filter) way more, so its nice having it closer. I also deleted the output jack and used the pure tone output jack I already installed the bass previously.
