Default Single conductor humbucker in new Ibanez?

So I have a new electric, a cheaper Ibanez made in china. I've set it up to play great and took a look inside the cavity, as I'd like to replace the bridge humbucker and this is what I'm looking at:

I'm wondering what to do, as the pickup I want to drop in is a more common modern 4 wire design.

What am I looking at here? The guitar is a dual humbucker, three way toggle and, volume, tone.

Your new pickup should come with some directions. Basically, the four wires are inlet of coil A, outlet of coil A, inlet of coil B, outlet of coil B. If you're not installing a switch or push/pull pot to support coil splitting, you solder the outlet of A to the input of B and have a standard humbucker.
