I use my bridge pup solo'd on the AB and the DBird. I have to run up the volume a bit to bring it to the same level as the other settings. But its a great option for a sharp, burpy, bridge pup sound, especially if I play closer to the bridge. It does cool things with slap as well.

For a long time I just kind of passed it by because of the lower volume, but it turned out to be a hidden bonus. It's key to the two mixed pup sounds as well.

While I don't miss having a bridge pup on my Super P, I'd certainly be open to that option. On my Super PJ I spent most of my time with the neck solo'd for that P tone. Open that amp and you'll find a lot of useful tones with extra bite in that bridge pup.

I do wire my bridge pups to series, to gain some volume.

I love (apart from everything else) :thumbsup: that you went with the clover tuning keys. The Y key hipshots to me don’t look right on the Supers. Congrats x1000 on the dream bass man!

Thanks! I'm holding it right now...:D it's taken up resident in my lap this week instead of my fretless.
 
Quick tip for the Z owners... I was looking over mine and noticed a bridge screw that had worked itself loose. You can tighten them with the white wrench. You might already know this but I didn't even realize they were there and would hate to lose one. Happy Friday!

That's an intonation screw. I believe that the bridge is bolted down from the top as well, but do screw it in until taught then check your intonation.
