I used to have a Gibson (early 1980s) with 3 pickups (I've forgotten the model's name) that had great tone. A friend liked it so much that he traded his 1975 Jazz for it. I had lost several gigs because "I didn't have a Fender bass", so that never happened again.

The way to go is definitely 3 On-Off switches. On mine, I have one (master) volume knob and one tone knob (controlling the bridge pickup). It works fine for me that way, although I no longer remember the k value of these controls. My son (37) has a Fender Jazz Bass to which he added a neck...
