Hell yeah. I am now the proud owner of a @jjjimi84 pedal. A Madbean Rustbucket, with some father/son collaborative artwork. "Too Bad", it most certaintly is not. So stoked to get to use this one.

Airbrushed orange (Deans favorite color) and then I turned him loose with posca paint pens. The enclosure is a rescue from the Voodoo Vibe that I screwed and mentioned in this weeks video.

I am glad it arrived safe! Enjoy!

Hope im not guessing here but is there a 4th position alone for the bridge i dont see it

you're on the right track... just not quite on the mark.
position 4 is bridge-only; achieved by lifting the neck pickup ground connection, similar to how the neck/both(series)/bridge wiring of old Danelectro guitars was able to be done with a simple spdt on-off-on switch.

You've made it all the way to Mordor; now you just need to find the way to Mt. Doom
 
Im stumped here So you pull the neck tone to achieve the bridge position got that. Is there a connection between the neck and bridge that your missing somewhere?

nope. Everything is “correct” with some serious side effects. Pulling the neck tone doesn’t do the bridge position- it adds the “choke” circuit (traditional neck pickup filter from the old Gibson EB basses).
The actual problem lies in the way the neck pickup is hooked up with its signal path always connected to the output (due to the ground being switched to the “hot” lead of the bridge pickup) to get the series mode… notice how if the neck pickup volume is left all the way up, we have a direct path to the neck tone pot (in addition to loading the bridge volume pot down to effectively 250k with a funny taper 🙃). Because of that, the neck tone control is sort of acting as a master tone control, but not entirely, because it’s interaction with the bridge pickup is entirely dependent on the position of the neck volume when the neck pickup is disconnected. Messy, huh?
Well, that’s what happens when you overcomplicate things, as I tend to; only thing is I’m usually quick to figure out the solution, and this time I’m a bit stumped as to how to fix it without using either nonexistent parts and no problems, or the parts that do exist with different problems.
If you’d like, I can highlight the path to show what I mean.

Please do! I would like to understand a little more about what you mean!

So I got home from work and a package at the front door contained the coolest pedal on my board right now.... Hand painted pedal from the great @jjjimi84 ... epoxy coated and everything. Stoked..... it turns out it sounds perfect for something I have to play this weekend too.

Last time i draw on a pedal without knobs on there, the top of the hand was my favorite part! Glad it arrived safe!
