I have my middle and neck pups on the same tone control and the bridge has it's own.

I did it on my strat and really dig the results. The middle pickups is now without a tone control, but it doesn't really need it.

actually, I'm just about to rewire mine to have one universal tone knob, and a midrange cut/boost (5= no change, <5 cuts, >5 boosts) knob... which will be cool if it works... (i'm currently having a wee tad o' trouble with the blasted thing...)

I wired my bridge PUP to the neck tone pot. This way you can combine neck & middle or middle & bridge and adjust the tone for each setting.

I wire it so that the middle control is a tone control for the neck and middle pickups, and the outside control is a tone control for the bridge pickup. Furthermore, I wire it so that each tone control gets its own tone capacitor, rather than using a shared capacitor for both tone controls. This makes the controls more usable, and it also gives you the opportunity to use different values for the tone caps. Right now, I'm using .022uF for each cap, but I have expermented with different values, when using different pickups.
