Other than simplicity, tradition, aesthetics, and $$$, is there any other reason why you would choose a traditional J bass over a J bass with two dual coil pickups? With switches and/or push-pull pots (series, parallel, single north coil, single south coil) it seems that the dual coil pickups...

My thinking was that having a Humbucker at the bridge with the ability to single either the north or south Coil would provide both ‘70s and ‘60s Jazz Bass Bridge positions. Personally, I can’t hear much of a difference on the videos I’ve listened to (I do not have access to a ‘70s bass) but...
