Yes! Not to forget the bridge pickup in the 70's position! - for those unfamiliar with this feature, it means the bridge pickup half an inch closer to the bridge like on the 70's Jazz Bass, think Marcus Miller - I love it too - don't worry bigevelrobot I won't bid on it, I am only investing in studio gear those days -

I've always kind of wanted one of those, but that sunburst is horrendous. I don't dig the big black blob on the forearm contour.

FYI: "the big black blob on the forearm contour" is to hide the fact that the body is a laminate.
