Possible altered jazzmaster wiring?

I was wondering if it would be possible (and how) to wire a jazzmaster with two humbuckers, two volume knobs, one tone knob (Side jack rout?) and modifiy the rythm circuit for it to function as a coil splitter like the push-pull pot. So I could have bridge, neck-bridge, neck, neck as single coil. It'd be a nice nifty trick to have! Otherwise I'll just go for the push-pull pot...
 
It's not only possible, it's easy, and I could draw a schematic. But, my scanner isn't hooked up so I don't know how I'd communicate it. Plus, I don't do wiring diagrams. Too much room for error. But, let's see if this helps...

That's from somewhere else, slightly modified, but not enough. Where you see the "Bridge Tone" pot and capacitor, move that to the common junction between S1a and S1b. S2 in that diagram would be either a mini-toggle switch or a push-pull switch attached to whatever pot you want. Anyway, that'll do what you're asking for.
