P-Rail wiring help!

Greetings fellow eartlings!

I’m at final stages of building my baritone jazzmaster and I need some help with the wiring. I have a P-Rail in the bridge position and a Vintage Hot Stack Plus in the neck position. As for knobs, I have one tone and one volume with push/pull pots and a three way switch. The idea is that I want to control the P-rail so i get 1) Humbucker in series 2) Just the P90 3) Just the Hot rail 4) Humbucker in parallel. I’ve seen some diagrams on the Seymour Duncan wiring page but I can’t find one that has my specs and I’m too much of a novice to mix and match wiring diagrams.

So, is there someone who could help me figure this out or even show me a schematic on how to get it done?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hope you are all doing well.
 
Welcome to the forum.

Looks like someone did it this way:

To me that's always been such a confusing way to do it, not so confusing tom wire up, but very confusing to use...trying to remember which p/p's are up or down to get the coil configuration I want. It is SOO much easier to use a Triple Shot mounting ring...both switches pointing to the P-90 coil activates the P-90 coil; both switches pointing to the rail activates the rail coil; both switches together get series; the switches apart gets parallel. Simple.
 
I have my Jackson wired this way for a Custom Custom bridge and I just did it so that volume is slug and tone is screw, e.g. the direction of the pot matches the side the coil is on. Never had a problem remembering or knowing what setting I have. Easier to grab on the fly than a triple shot switch.
