Keef's Tele humbucker tone

[Dzo]

Did Keef ever really use the humbucker neck pickup on his Tele? If so, can you point me in the direction of some of his tonal examples of its use?

Thanks.

Dzo:

I've posted a link to a thread in which we got some decent hearsay information from a guy who knows Keith's tech that he sometimes uses both neck and bridge, sometimes bridge, but never neck alone:

As for examples of the tone, I can't hear it. My '73 Custom sounds like most of the "heroin-era" Stones on the bridge pickup alone. I figure he MUST use it, though, because of his strong preference for Teles that have it. But maybe it's just an homage to Albert Collins, or maybe he just likes Macawber and doesn't see the need to change it back.
