How to get H+J / Power H / J+H on one switch?

Is that possible to get unified configuration on one cleaver switch includes thread title? I have two overwound hot-rail jazzbar humbackers with coil-switching (internal) possibility. Wiring colour code is the same as Seymour Duncan has. To my ear the best sound is when two pickups are always in series together, then one of them (optional) has coil-tap. My bass is all-mahogany reverse headstock thunderbird clone BTW. The very best results give IMHO: 1) humbacker + single, 2) power humbacker (straight into the jack socket), 3) single + humbacker. All at all - I want to have master volume, one-master-switch (for reason I started the thread) and one master tone. Can anybody help to solve the wiring scheme (if possible)?

1 and 3 would be the same? Edit your op to discern neck humbucker and bridge humbucker, and the single coil of either one which you'd like to combine into the signal.

So if I’m following correctly, you want these options (yellow indicates active coils):

I’m just trying to clarify what it is that you want. I’m not a switching expert, but I’m sure someone that can help you with wiring will come along...
