Pickup switching selections

so im gettin ready to wire up new pups in a 6'er.
basswood rgr, i've got a mo-joe (new, higher medium output) in the bridge, fasttrasck (stacked hum) in the middle, and a humbucker from hell (really bright low output) in the neck.
got a 4 pole 5 way blade. i can do ALMOST anything with that...
suggestions?

i know i want the neck in series and parallel, but depending on what other selections i use on teh blade, that could be handled via push pull pot (providing i dont have any blade selections using only one pup.

I'm doing something similar, though I don't have a middle pickup. Still trying to figure out HOW to do it, but...

With a middle single, you can do the in-between strat sound, right? So, what about wiring it neck-neck/middle-middle-middle/bridge-bridge, and use a push-pull to go between parallel and series?

Keep us updated, I'd love to hear what you end up doing, and how!

lol thats the switch i have man. 5 lugs + a commons per pole, 4 poles.
im just asking for what settings i should use. i think im decided though

pos 1 = neck (can be switched series/parallel via pushpull)
pos 2 = neck + bridge
pos 3 = middle in series
pos 4 = middle + bridge (can be switched series/parallel via pushpull)
pos 5 = bridge (can be switched series/parallel via pushpull)

now i get to play fun with wiring diagrams!
wish me some lucks
