Show me the three-pickup production basses

Seeing a recent thread that showed a couple of 3 pickup Paul Reed Smith basses got me thinking- besides that model and the Stu Hamm Urge, what other production basses featured a 3-pickup setup?

I'm not thinking about piezo-equipped models just because the piezo's are not visible.

So there you have it- what other standard production model basses feature(d) a 3 pickup setup?

Please post pics if you have 'em!

Most of the Burns basses (like the Bison pictured below) had three pickups- I assume they are production instruments, but you don't see many of them around here so I'm not sure.

My Gibson G3. I'm thinking about, at some point down the road, getting a Big Al 5 in matching color (black/tort/maple/matching headstock). I'm not usually a fan of active basses but I've played a few Big Als and have been impressed with the tones I got. Plus that combo would look freakin' sweet.
