It's funny...it's almost like people are "afraid" of the third pickup. I just like the idea...three massive MM bass pickups, like a row of black monoliths...a bass like that should be heavier than a Peavey T-40 and instantly put a permanent dent in our shoulder while it rattles the fillings out of your teeth I was also thinking about coil tapping...it just seems to me it would be possible to tap the entire tonal range for a beast like that...
