Picture this, if you will. (Prospective custom build!)

A split-coil p-style at the neck, a MM style in its sweet spot, and a Jazz at the bridge. Controls would be concentric volume and tone for all three pickups, master volume, 3-band preamp on bass horn (think Jazzmaster), and series/paralell switches on treble horn (Jazzmaster again).
It'd be a slightly longer scale, strung through the body.

I'm trying to be versatile tonally, without having to switch basses between songs.

Comments, questions, suggestions?

Precision and MM pickups will be sticked together, I've got a bass like this. I think the J pickup will be sticked to the MM, so all pickups in one spot will make a strange looking bass indeed

Well, I was actually thinking about putting the Precision pickup a little closer to the neck, maybe an inch and a half or so. It's like that on my '72 Ibanez Pre-Lawsuit bass, and I like the mellowed-out tones I can get from it.
