Been there, done that..80's..Rickenbacker 4003 stereo out to 2 amps either side of the drummer..Ric neck bass pickup behind me through amp 1..Ric bridge treble pickup other side of the drummer through amp 2...sounded great out front of stage but in the end not worth the setup time at the gigs. It required large wide stages and a large station wagon or van for transporting gear.
I still use my Rics but 1 amp is quite enough these days in my old age lol

Stereo makes no sense to me at all. None. Someone please explain so I can understand.

What does make sense to me is to run each pickup through a crossover taking highs from the bridge and lows from the neck. I think you would end up with a rich two pickup sound but with almost no mid scoop. But does anybody do this?
