Hi. I'm starting up a website about rickenbackers, with artists who played them and pickups and stuff like that. I'm also making a chart on pickup ohms value and how much it has increased since the start of production. So, what I need is some measurements of ohms from anyone rickenbacker bass. I already have most of them from the 80s and 90s but at help would be appreciated. so, if you give me the ohms value and the place you measured it on, that would be great.

Walter, what is the horseshoe measurement when the selector switch is in the center? How about when it's in the bridge position?
