Wiring help - both hums in pos 4

[nanookanono]

Hello! First post and all that, so greetings! I've got a question for all you wiring gurus. I hope this is the right place to ask this question - apologies if it's not.

Basically I'm trying to figure out how to have both FULL humbuckers engaged at the same time. The guitar in question is an Ibanez RG with a HSH layout, 1 master vol and 1 master tone (though the tone pot is currently disconnected as a bit of an experiment). I've got the two humbuckers wired to a push/pull coil split, and the single coil is a true single coil. The guitar is currently wired like this:

1 - Bridge
2 - Bridge + Middle
3 - Middle
4 - Neck + Middle
5 - Neck

Pretty standard. I find that I make good use of all positions except pos 4. So what I'd like to have instead is this:

1 - Bridge
2 - Bridge + Middle
3 - Middle
4 - Neck + BRIDGE
5 - Neck

So I want that fourth position to engage the neck and bridge pickups. However, I don't just want the inside coils, I want BOTH coils of BOTH humbuckers engaged in position four. Keeping in mind that both humbuckers are wired for coil splits (and so taking up both spots of the push/pull), and I don't want to sacrifice that, is this at all possible? If necessary I don't mind sacrificing the pure single coil in position 3 instead.

Not that it should make a difference, but the switch is one of the straight line import switches: 123CC123.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! : private:

You will have to get a superswitch for this, with 4 lines of poles instead of 2.

(technically you need 3 poles but there's no switch offering this.

Alternatively a push-pull.

Thanks for the response, uOpt. So I could use a second push/pull one the tone pot? How would I go about wiring that up?

What I would do if I went push-pull is I would put the neck humbucker on the push-pull, so that you can add it to anything.

Then wire up the 5-way normally.

Why do you say "second" push-pull? What's the first one doing?

Sorry it's taken me so long to respond - Christmas and all that.

The current push/pull has both neck and bridge wired to it. Forgive me if I'm missing something obvious - I don't know too much about wiring. The last time I wired anything was in high school about ten years ago. I haven't done much guitar wiring other than standard stuff so far.
