Geezer butler emg solderless elecronics question

Hi

With the the electronics included with this set it states there is one volume and one tone pot.

Is there no blend / extra volume / switch pot where you can select between the two neck or bridge pickup or am I missing something?
 
And if it has been a while since you've had a two-pickup passive bass, remember "insertion loss". You'll get a volume drop with both pickups on full blast, compared to one or the other selected individually. If you're not used to that or don't want it, from what I understand the only way around is to add at least an active buffer preamp.
