By the way, do you have any pictures?

LOL - I knew the pictures thing would eventually come up.  Not yet, but I will.  It's really nothing special to look at.
 
You are correct that there is only one filter and no Q switch, so limited control.  My bridge pickup really sounds dead, but I think that's the strings.  It's not quiet as much as it lacks any real tone.  It's just thin.  I am hoping it will all get lively with real strings on it.

Bob,  
 
Have you seen any of the threads on adjusting the pickup/string height and the internal gain control? Maybe someone else here could help us find them.

All adjusted and a fresh battery were installed as soon as it came through the door.  I really think that new strings will make the needed difference to the tone.  I'll know next week.
