The RIC website is always a good starting place for this type of question:

One thing the diagram doesn't mention is that the John Kay humbucker is terminated differently, essentially totally non-jumpered all the way back to a connector. The treble and bass pickups have a different pin-out so that they work with the active circuit properly.
