5 string with mud bucker placed pickup?

[WarmToneWank]

Are there any 5 string production basses with a pickup in the mudbucker place near the neck. Closest i can find is the Epiphone EB35, but those are hard to find. The jackenbacker gets a little close, but still not mudbucker.

Guessing I am gonna get a lot of comments that it just being sht mud.

Warwick Star, maybe? The pickup isn't right up against the neck like an EB-3, but it has one fret fewer, so I think the placement is very close if not identical.

McGrath makes them but I guess that's a custom build and not "production". The configurator is fun to play with.

Epiphone made a mudbucker equipped Newport in 6 string back in 61-62.
But production was about 12 instruments, so calling it rare would be an understatement.

how close could one get to that ideal using a humbucking jazz neck pickup with the tone control rolled off completely?

Mars Eac-3 bass! EMG Soaps, 18V EMG Active EQ, Neck Through, LED side fret markers, very well balanced, and sustain unlike any other bass I’ve seen, heard or played. Fantastic tone pallet. Hand made in Houston Texas by Dannie Cates in Houstin Texas. I believe in 99 to 2000. From what Ive read ...

Personally I hate the mudbucker tone. And I hate it twice as much when it’s slammed right up against the neck.

But I really like a moderate output, bright sounding pickup right against the neck, like Rickenbacker does.

So yeah, a Jazz pickup would work great for my preferences.

I would be down for a jazz near the neck. Something like where the lipstick is on the Jerry Scheff Laklands. I was thinking the reverend triad, but thought that was traditional jazz position.
