Mustang slider switch wiring question?

The Mustang type of 3 way slider switch, can I wire just one to give bridge/both/neck, there are two rows of four eyelets on the back of the switch......
or is there a switch that fits that will?

Failing that could I wire one switch to each pickup, so that when both are on gives both? I just wat to do away with the phase switching as I find it pointless....
Thanks!

    Yes, you can use one switch as the pickup selector.

    Wire it like this:

    1  2  3  4
    5  6  7  8

    1, 3, 6 and 8 to the volume control, 2 to the neck pickup, 7 to the bridge pickup.

    I did the 5.0 mod where I could select the pickups via one switch & the other switch was wired to In phase out of phase and a bass boost.
