The pickup arrangement brings to mind the Fender HM basses from the 80's, which always seemed like a cool idea to me. How do you like the results?

So far I like it very much, but to do it over again I would probably move the bridge pair half an inch closer to the bridge and the neck pickup an inch closer to the neck. Downside to that is it would cost more for the custom routes and would probably tend to devalue the bass a little vs the classic positions.
