With the 4 way switch, the other 3 (or original) positions remain unchanged. All the added 4th position does is to make what would ordinarily be position #2, louder and bassier. See, electronically with either the 3 way or 4 way switch, position #2 has both pickups wired in parallel. With the now 4th position, that changes both pickups from being wired in parallel to being wired in series. Hence, the thicker sound. There really isn't much left one can do with the 4 way switch.

Check out the wiring diagram for the Fender 'Esquire.' It has 1 pickup, but three tone settings.

It also sounds like the wiring on the Baja Tele. Perhaps you can pull out that diagram on the Fender site.

Good hunting.
