If you don't want the selector switch, just take the wire from each pickup that the diagram shows going to the selector and attach both to the positive leg of the output jack.
I don't know precisely, but since it is a dual humbucker and only has 1 switch and 2 knos, the knob nearest the neck is probably the volume, and the other is the tone. The switch should select which pickup is in use, towards the neck for the neck or rythym pickup, and the other way for the bridge or lead pickup. If it has a centre click position, that will be both pickups on together. If one of the knobs has a pull position, that will likely be a single coil switch for the lead pickup.
The company from where you got the pickups would have the schematic. What pickup are they.
When there are 4 wires it usually to split the coils in the individual pickups
Realize that when you plug into the one jack it disconnects the fingerboard pickup from the mix.
DO NOT USE "stereo" cables as it is intended to use TWO MONO cables, one for each side of the stereo.
IF you plug into the one jack that will connect to the bridge pickup, it will disconnect the fingerboard pickup from the mix BUT leave the fingerboard on its own jack.
That same jack will have BOTH fingerboard and bridge pickups IF the second jack (bridge) is not plugged into.
This is according to the schematic. If you find that yours works backwards, then either the schematic is wrong OR your guitar pickups may be electrically swapped.
To adjust the pick up height on the guitar, simply turn the single screw on each side of the pickup. Clockwise to lower the pickup and counter clockwise to raise the pickup. Hope this Helps!!
Whether the pickup is a Duncan or not does not make a difference. Make sure you solder the red and white wires together(the ones together in the diagram) and cover the joint with heat shrink or electrical tape.
