Hey guys. I just got my first Bongo (a 4-string HS model). Question about the Blend knob...when the knob is turned all the way to the right...that's the Bridge pickup alone with both coils on or just the first set of coils? In the middle is the neck pickup and the inside coil of the bridge humbucker or both coils on the humbucker? Thanks in advance!

Nothing ever splits any coils on Boingos.
The PUs are always simply what they appear
to be. All you can ever do to them is to blend
them in various degrees via that knob. You
can solo either PU by twirling the knob to its
limit in either direction, no problem there.
FYI, you can always check using a small iron
containing object, typically a paper clip back
when peeps still used paper, to tap on the
exposed poles of any PU to see which rows
of poles are operating at which control setup.
Sometime this even works with hidden poles.
[Make sure your amp is set for low volume,
as the 'tap-tap' signal can be powerful.]
