Default Independent Vol controls for guitar

I wired my multi switch Bich clone so many years ago that I don't know how I did it.
But one thing I did was make the 2 humbuckers independent.
So with the pup selector in center position, I can blend at will without either volume cutting off the other.

So I decided to setup my Jackson DKMGT the same.
The thing that bugged me was if I cut off either volume, it would cut off both when the selector was in center position.

All that is required is I swapped #1 and #2 lugs on both volume pots. Now they blend, and at wide open position I think the sound is more open than before.
In a way it eliminates the need for the selector switch.
Cut off bridge, and neck stays at whatever the pot is set...and vice versa.

Another advantage is the different phasing qualities.
Twiddling one of the volumes gives a definite "wah" effect.
