2 caps with just one vol & tone?

i've never come across this before i just generally go with whats on that diagram

you do have a 3 way toggle dont you & not a blade?

Yeah.  o_0

I was sent this:
For use with humbuckers I recommend our new CTS550K custom audio taper pots for both volume and tone applications and our BKP/Jensen paper in oil capacitors - 0.022mfd for the bridge tone and 0.015mfd for the neck tone.The 550K rating loads the pickup less allowing for slightly more output and increased high end response with improved dynamics while the paper in oil caps maintain clarity and definition during treble roll off as well as a more usable tone sweep.

Ah I see now.... I was mistaken, I have 2 vol and a tone. D'oh!  >_<

Oh and defo a toggle, not blade.

ahh in that case you can use the official diagram

http://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/main/downloads/schematics/general/humbuckers/2_hum__2_vol_1tone__3_way_toggle.pdf

you could always convert one of the vol pots into a tone by placing the cap in the same place as it is on that diagram across one of the pots

I however would find 2 vol more useful

As generally i just have 1 vol & the switch other than on my RGD as that has parrallell wiring and the tone pot has a nice effect in that mode

Seeing as I bought two I might as well use them. Plus I like a little variance in tones sometimes, heh.

hmm im not quite sure how you would go about wiring it

check the bkp site for

2x humbucker 1 vol, 2 tone 3 way toggle

because youll have to have the volume as a master volume
