No, not at this time. These switches I just received (only a few of them) are totally un-wired. The S/P switches we have, use and sell come to us wired already with 4 colored wires coming off the switch to solder to the pickup tabs. These 3-ways have to be totally wired from scratch.

Perhaps sometime in the future we might have these to sell but I would ship them off in some quantity to the Lab we use and have them nicely wired up in advance so only the 4 colored wires are there for the pickups like on our current S/P switch assembly.

First we have to try it and see if it's something we want to get involved with. Then maybe we will consider adding it as an option both on newly made basses as well as retro fits for existing basses out there. Currently we offer a S/P upgrade on old basses, S/P option on basses that do not come with switches and we also sell them after market for the do-it-yourself types out there. This 3-way if it passes our approval would then be available all ways as well.
