You will need to invest in some sort of pot/switch since you cant get a 5-way toggle. The most common way to do this would be to have each volume pot replaced with a push/pull to coil tap the corresponing pickup. Other methods would include adding a small toggle switch (similar to the picture below) or replacing a tone pot with a Rotary pot.
