Paul's 4001S - question for Mark

[dminer]

Hello Mark, Over at another website the question came up as to the wiring in Paul's Rickenbacker. I have noticed that he always seems to have the pickup selector switch in the down position. I would think that this would indicate a preference for the horseshoe pickup. Someone suggested that because it was a lefty that perphaps the wiring was reversed-ie. neck is down and horseshoe up. Knowing that you were the luthier on his bass when it came into Rickenbacker for repair I am asking that you clear up this question. Was the wiring standard or reversed?

and there are several Paperback Writer era photos of Sir Paul with the switch up ....he used any and every combination . Go look at the Anthology book or the Sessions book .
