And what exactly do you mean by "bridge the left and right channel"? So solder the mic cable to the left channel and the solder another cable from the left to the right channel?
If it were me, I'd probably do this. I first plug your 4 pole cable into your PC and then plug the other end into a female adapter. I'd then use WinAmp or similar audio program that allows you to fade from left to right. Then I'd fade all the way to the left while playing music. Then with a meter. Touch the tip (usually the shortest plug on the female adapter or the innermost solder connector), and then touch the ground. If you get a reading... you've found both the left channel and ground. Then fade to the right, leaving 1 connector on the ground see if you can locate the right channel. Once you've found those, the only 1 left is the Mic. That's one way.
My typical way is..... Open the headphone on the side where the wire enters the headphone (as you'll be pulling that side apart anyway). Look at the color of the wiring. This will tell you which wires go over to the other side (probably right cup), they will also show you where on your left driver (if that is the side where the cable enters) is the shared ground (between the left and right driver). This is also where you can attach your mic ground (but be careful! too much heat and you will ruin the driver). Once you've sorted out your coloring for the stock cable. You can cut the 1/8" end off of the cable. Expose the wiring. Then with your 4 pole connector plugged into the computer and the other end plugged into the female adapter, you can usually visually look at the female adapter and tell which one is the ground (I believe it was the largest or outermost conductor on the female 4 pole). You can now turn on the music on your pc. Fade it to the left, and test out your wiring on the headphone. Write everything down (draw pictures if you need to). When you have your wiring sorted. Start modifying.
Now, as far as the microphone. If you do it like I did, you will have a 3 pole female jack for the Microphone. attach the ground to the common ground on the female 4 pole jack. Then attach the mic from the 4 pole female to 1 of the channels on the 3 pole female (it doesn't matter which side). When that's done, make a "jumper" wire to attach the left and right channel together on the microphone as well. This will "bridge" both sides to give it that dual mono sound. Unfortunately, I didn't take any close up pics of the wiring... sorry about that. If you need further info... let me know, I can probably draw something up for you that can help.
