Ok...I may have been hasty. In another thread, I mentioned that I found a really amazing resource for bass wiring (http://www.ak-line.com/medium/Bassschaltungen.pdf). After looking through it, it seems I was wrong. Gibson has issued basses with 2V2T configurations that at times used dependent and at times independent wiring, but mostly dependent it seems. Same for Epiphones. Also Hagstroms and Guilds with 2V2T...even the Fenders (Coronado and Starfire) that have 2V2T... So if I do it dependent, it'll have company. There seem to be a number with 2V2T that do the wring independent as well. Mostly, but not exclusively without a switch.

I know more or less why people like one or the other on a quitar...but can't find anyone experimenting with it on a bass...
