A/B Bass Circuit

Hey everybody. 
Merry Christmas.

It's been a while since I've done any projects.

I'm running into issues with a pickup selector circuit I want to build.

Here's the story:

I want a bass that has:

1.   A full Jazz pup set.

2.   A "P" pup

3.   A selector that chooses the output to be either Jazz or P pups.

4.   THEN!!! When I select P, I want a switch to choose between single output P (traditional) and splitting the outputs to a "stereo-like" setup. In that, the BEA strings are picked up by one half of the P pup, and the DG strings are picked up by the other half of the pup.

This way I can send the low strings to one amp and the high strings to another amp.

There shall also be tone an volume controls for the pickups in a traditional sense. For the Jazz pups there is a vol-vol-tone. For the P there is a Vol-tone, and then another tone for the split DG P pup. THere are a few dual gang pots in there for attempts knob reduction.

Man, does this even make any sense to anyone other than me?

Anyway.

Here's my circuit drawing.

And here's a picture of the "panel".

I don't even know if this circuit would work as it is intended to.

Can some of you wizards look at this and help me get where I'm going?

(I've been looking at this and messing with it for so long I'm even lost in it myself.)

Also, if there is an easier or already existing way of doing this, I"m down with that too.
