Bass with humbucker and a single coil?

Throw a coil tap in there and you're good. It doesn't list it in the specs, but the ones I saw a couple of years back had an active/passive push/pull on em. You could get a fairly versatile bass on the cheaper that way.

That'd work but I'm looking for something with more of a VVTT configuration with the pick up selector or VVVTTT or something.
I've been looking at the Stargazer, I don't like the active electronics though.., but that's worth a shot..how would you do that?
The Lakland 55-95/55-02 aren't single coils. The bridge pickup is actually two split coils for a total of 4 coils (that act as two) which can be run as front, rear, or both with the use of a three way switch. The neck J pickup is a split coil hum canceling.
Never have quite understood the romance with single coils. My Jazz bass had singles, and I promptly swapped them out for DiMarzio Ultra Jazz split coils. Ahhh...much quieter and a fatter bottom end.

I don't think there are many known basses with that electronics configuration as well.
You might not want it, but that's what's typically on the market and in your price range. You can argue with me, but that doesn't change what's out there.
Is it possible to not make the blend a blend and just make it a tone for one and adding another tone?
He was right, and this article doesn't dispute it. A coil tap is taking the wire connecting the two coils in a humbucking pickup and cutting it so you have two extra wires (that is how it used to be done, now they are made that way from the factory). With that you can wire it in a number of new ways, including humbucking/single coil and series/parallel.
