Regarding the output level, my first attempt was not successful, however, as long as you have a separate volume knob for each pickup the varying output levels is not problematic.
Not all orderings of these pickups work the same. I found that it was important, at least in my case, to have the high gain and toasters in the neck and bridge positons. The addition of a toaster or high gain in the middle was not as desirable as the humbucker.
When all three of the pickups are on, in this arrangement, the jangle is quite incredible.

Sure, you can always do that. I am swimming in three days of nostalgia and beer from my 20-year high school reunion weekend. I'll bet I was the only bloke there with three Rickenbackers !

Did you take that in church? It has an ecclesiastical feel to it.

In principio erat verbum, et verbum erat apud Rickenbacker.

To those who didn't study Latin, as I did and apparently Peter did, too, this means:
"In the beginning was the Word and the Word was Rickenbacker."
(cue organ music)
How d'ya get an organ to JANGLE?

Paul: Never fear, my son. He who can make an organ jangle is Shirley a talented person, He who can make a Rickenbacker grind is a true genius!
Animo et fide!

Sorry, didn't notice Ken had beat me to it...had to go back and 'overwrite' myself...
Now I'm trying to work out a 'stolen margarine' joke for Howard...

Regarding the Humbuckers and the different part numbers. . . perhaps the difference is in the length of the lead wires? i.e., neck has longer leads, bridge has shorter ones.
Just a thought. . .

I believe that was the initial idea Sir Andrew.
