Nice! If you get distillers though, I recommend wiring: pickup --> distiller --> 25k volume pot. That way you are taking advantage of the low impedance signal coming out of the Distiller and you'll have a practically flawless, smooth and lossless volume gradient. Then you can wire those separate volumes to a switch or blend control if you like and even to another 25k volume as a master if you so choose.
I think the Distillers will blow your socks off. Total game-changers! EDIT: well you're familiar with the Alembic magic already but they are slightly different (longer battery life for one) and perfectly compatible with Bisonics!
For my Distiller equipped basses I used EMG 25k pots, which you can also source in a stacked/concentric configuration if you'd like to minimize the number of drill holes. I think they even have a stacked volume/blend control available if I'm not mistaken. Lots of options! Just keep in mind, each distiller has a mini-toggle switch for Q/resonance boost, so if you wanted to do separate switches for the coil taps, you'd be looking at 4 mini-toggles total... which sounds fun to me! Not sure if EMG 25k pots come in push/pull, but if not, I'm sure someone makes them.
