Optimus Prime
1 single coil, 1 humbucker.
2 volume pots. (1 250k, and 1 500k)
Floyd rose.

*No tone pots.*

The switch is a gibson switch the sidways one. This is confusing as it has potential wiring on both ends of it.

Just use the value pots you want to use, and don't hook up anything related to the tone control (well, except for the ground, which can just go to the back of one of the other pots). And of course, your single coil won't have the red and white wires. Then again, your Humbucker may not have them either, but don't worry about it if that is the case, cause you don't need them.

Mind you, both of the Volume controls will act as Master Volumes in that case. If you want true independent control, you will need to wire the volumes like on a Jazz Bass. I'd actually probably do it that way. You won't be able to do swells, but if you don't than you may as well use two 250k pots, as the pickups will be loaded down by both pots, so the different values won't matter.
