2 pickup, 2 volume, 0 tone, 0 switch (n00b content)

This is a real n00b question. I'm trying to keep the wiring of a current project super simple and thought two pickups, each with a volume knob for blending the signal in, and nothing else. Is this as easy as it seems or am I going to run into a hitch? Anyone have a similar wiring diagram?

anytime! It's my favourite circuit - never bother with tone knobs or switches.

Another related question, maybe you can help weed_killer: Wired up this way, could a switch be added to switch between series & parallel wiring?

could it be done: I can't see why not.
could I explain how, using my limited wiring knowledge: not a chance
I would imagine you'd just need a spdt switch, but what I'm not sure of is how you would wire it in (i.e. if you put it after the two pots, would you have to take the pickup leads off the pots or from the pickups). Sorry I can't be of more help.

Try this?
The pot closest to the jack in the diagram would be the tone, so just leave that out of the circuit and have bridge pot go to output like in the diagram that weed_killer posted.
Edit:
This should be right:
If not, someone else can correct me, but I think it should be good.
