3 way 4 pole on/on/on wiring diagram please.

Howdy pickup masters! I'm new here but even just browsing the SD forum has led me to believe that my answers lie here... somewhere!
I bought an Ibanez pawn store guitar that, in my opinion, just needed a little TLC. Then... I plugged it in and 'tried' to play it. It has WHAT I THOUGHT were a single volume control and a separate tone for each pickup. (That's my favorite dual humbucker configuration.) Everything sounded so messed up and I just couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. I looked up the configuration and found out that the top knob, (Where I'd usually have my volume,) was NOT a volume pot, but a "Blender" knob. I don't know about you guy, but I don't like it! Thus, I'd like to use these 500K pots and simply rewire them to suit a configuration that I am familiar with.

I have confirmed that my 3way 4 pole toggle is in fact an on/on/on toggle and I'd like to get some help in soldering my harness for a simple Neck/Bridge Hummbucker, 1Volume, 2Tone, 3Way wiring configuration. (See my Seymour Dumcan diagram below.)

The three way split should be:
Toggle up: (towards neck,) just the top Hummbucker.
Toggle middle" Both pickups
Toggle down: (towards bridge,) just the bridge pickup.

All of this is simple enough, IF I were using a simple 3Pole 3Way toggle, but I'd like to use the original parts if possible.

As I've seen on other 3way 4pole posts on this SD Pickup Forum, let's name my poles:

1234
ABCD
5678

WHAT should I solder WHERE???

Thanks in advance wiring gurus!

Y to 1 and 2 (2 is redundant. Just good practice.)
W to 5 and 6 (5 is the redundant one)
X to A and B (be sure to do both.)
Z is just ground. (Bridge ground?)

This is what the Seymour Duncan picture I used looked like before I edited out the standard 3way toggle. It shows (Z) going to ground on the switch/toggle. Does my 3way 4pole have a ground?

Probably not. Some people solder to the side of the switch. It's not absolutely necessary. If it has an actual "soldering" tab, then go ahead. If not, don't worry about it.

Yeah ArtieToo, there is NO soldering tab on the toggle. Seeing how the other ground wires jump from pot to pot I'll just clip (Z) off close to the solder on my neck tone pot. (See pic.)

And THANKS AGAIN for all of your help!!!!!
