Wiring Help.

Hey Guy's,
Anybody know how to wire my Ibanez S bypassing the Volume and Tone controls. So that the 81/85's go straight to the pickup selector then the output?

While bypassing all knobs straight to the jack may work on passive pickups(I know Nile and Marty Friendman used to do this), ou do not want to do this with active pickups, actives require the load put on them by the 25k pots. Using active pickups sans pots will end up sounding very very nasty and bad, and could possibly result in damage of some sort to the amp or pickups or possibly even electric shock.

If what you want is more output(pretty much why anyone wants to run guitars without volume/tone knobs), try the 18V mod, basically running two 9V batteries in series in the circuit.
