P-style pickup in the bridge?

[Tommy Tourbus]

What do you guys think about puting a p-style pickup in the bridge instead of the usual J in the bridge? The other pickup in the bass would be a p in the usual spot. So the bass would be a dual P. Thoughts?

You're describing a P Bass Elite II. It was, once upon a time, a production bass.

I'm curious as to how a p style pick up would sound in the bridge position.

Lee Sklar went with this set up in his Frankenbass for years. John Entwistle has it on his original Warwick Buzzard. Berard Edwards also used a P/P Mockingbird(?) with Chic.

An overlooked p/up configuration IMO.
