Two EMG's, three knobs wiring configurations

My Schecter Hellraiser has three knobs. One for neck pu volume, one of bridge pu volume and one for tone.

 

The pickups are EMG81 bridge and 85 neck. I don't really like the idea of having separate volume control for both pick.

 

If I wire both pickups to one of the knobs for volume and one knob is used for tone already, how can I make use of the third knob?

A cool bass control like a G&L. Should work just fine. You'll have to replace one pot with a 1meg for the bass control. 500k might be better, that's what I used as that is all I had at the time.

I done this to my Gibson V and it's pretty cool. Not so much use on high gain except for getting a real tight bottom end. Really cool for cleans though.

EMG's should have a wiring diagram that comes with it and it shows about 4-5 way's of wiring them into your axe.:cool::rawk:
