fender 3 tone

How do I wire 3 Fender SCN single coils to 3 dedicated volume pots, bypassing switches and tone pots?
I want each pickup to have its own volume, and no overall tone control, or switching options. (s-s-s, 3 vol, 0 five-way switch). They are the Samarium-Cobalt Noiseless pickups and have 3 leads each.
Legendary Surf Guitarist Dick Dale does this with all of his Fender Strats and the pickups he uses are more or less the same as yours.
I would probably use bypass resistors, specifically for the tone. I will include some links to some helpful diagrams below.
