I like the sound of P/MM a lot. I can't listen at the moment, but I like that the polepieces on the P are big like on a MM pickup. Does it sound like a traditional P? I guess I'll know when I listen later. I didn't want different size polepieces (or different shapes) on a bass of mine so Carey Nordstrand & crew put the P pickup in a covered MM shell to match the covered MM.
Another benefit of mine is that the MM pickup is more in the traditional sweetspot, unlike this one which seems closer to the bridge. All that sonic stuff aside, the Jake Snowman bass definitely looks the part. I dig the white too!

Big pole pieces nail the traditional tone, just listen to a Music Man Caprice. I agree about putting the Music Man humbucker in the sweet spot. That is a magical sound.
I got this Vintage White Jake last summer and bonded immediately, I have pretty bad RA and basal joint arthritis in my thumbs so I stick with the narrow 17 mm neck but he also does 19mm. I think these are not only great basses but an outstanding value as well.
Mine has active passive with the 3 way for parallel, single and series for the bridge pup which adds a lot to the tonal possibilities in both modes. The P kills in passive soloed , I definitely would get another from him.
