Active preamp bypass switch?

Hey all. First time posting here! 
 

I have a client who wants me to wire a switch into his bass (active pickups and active preamp) that will bypass the preamp and leave only the active pickups on. 
 

This sounds like it should be possible but I’m not 100% on how to do it. I know how to wire an active/passive switch - is it basically the same deal only with the pickups slotted in there somewhere? Thanks!

just go look at 'true bypass dpdt' and you'll see what you need.  I do this for every preamp I make/install on all my guitars.  Typically mount them on a push pull pot and use the dpdt part to send the signal straight thru if the knob is in down position.
