Seymour Duncan SMB-4a series/split /parallel

Hello fellow Bassists!
Just wanted some info on wiring a seymour duncan SMB-4a in series/split/parallel to a "les paul" style toggle instead of a 3 way blade switch. Is it possible? I did see a SD wiring diagram for a 3 way blade switch with a 3.3k resistor involved but I am not sure how to translate it to a 3 way "toggle" or if it can even be done. and do i need a resistor? any help or and dumbed down wiring diagrams would be great.
:bassist:
PS.
THIS WILL BE GOING INTO AN "AGUILAR OBP-1 PREAMP" IF THAT HELPS
 
I think i talked about this before on another forum, (so sorry if i confused you before if it is you) i dont know what the 3k3 is for myself.

Did you do this? Ho does it sound. I was thinking of this combination instead of SD preamp. Do you have a wiring diagram?
