NBD - Finally!

[hiram.k.hackenbacker]

After a long long wait, I finally took possession of the 4004LK today.

I think I may have to dust off the cobwebs from the old V8 and put this through it's paces.

I'll put some more photo's up in the Rickenbacker Porn thread later.

I'm off to make some noise.

Congratulations! and very nice indeed. I can spot 3 pups, but only two knobs and one switch. How do the electrics work?

Thank you.
I've had some time to have a little play now.
The switch is a three-way. The down position is the bridge pick-up, middle is all three pick-up's and up is the middle and neck pick-up's together.
The knobs are volume and tone, but I have to say that tone selector has a huge sweep on it.
Because of the way the pick-up's are mounted, you also get three comfortable thumb rests to vary the tone again.
I'm quite chuffed.
