Jumper for my Strat

I posted a few months back on the work around for being able to adjust for tone on the bridge pup of my strat. Kent Armstrong single coils. It has a 5 way switch, vol, tone, and tone. Standard. Switch is typical after market 5 way all on one side in a straight line. Anyways lost the link for it and I think after working on it yesterday I didn't get it correct. So any help is appreciated. thanks

The diagram represents a stock Fender 5 way switch. The red line is the jumper. Not sure if it helps with your aftermarket switch. It's an easy mod that took me less than a minute once the soldering iron heated up.

Thanks man, I think that is what I did. The switch that is on this build is just a straight switch I if I remember from yesterday. All 5 terminals on one side. I actually have tone adjustment now for the bridge pup and I think that is exactly the way I did it. Although by accident, or serendipity I guess, luck ya know. The reason I wasn't getting any tone etc. is that I had the plug soldered wrong! Anyways book marked the site and will investigate the site further down the road. thanks

I don't have a pic, but on my Strat, I jumpered between the neck and bridge pickups, so I could adjust each pickup in any combo. Just a thought!

I move the middle wire over instead of jumpering so that the middle is wide open.
The way the diagram is adjusts tone for both bridge and mid, and it makes mine kind of muddy.
