Single pickup basses you like

You guys realize you are building a whole new sub-genre of basses for me to GAS over.
Let's hope so!...
Seriously, this has been a funny eureka! for me. It's like mentally I've been thinking more is better, now I feel it's not (I grew up poor... more seems like it should be betterLet's hope so!...
). I go back and forth between the 2 pickup 805 and the one pickup 305 and while the 305 doesn't have as much growl when you are in the neck pickup area, the thump it has is clearer and more defined. For harder rock or metal I can see the 2 pickups adding crunch - I'll keep both basses. But I'm doing a more rap & dub-step type of thing with current band, so low notes need to have a different clarity - they don't get to hide in the mix much. A lot of sections where I am the most prominent instrument -we be's a power trio with a scratching, synthing DJ/singer. Not a lot of sonic cover for a bass player.
Yes, another appreciator of the ATK.
My Precision that hangs outside of the music room, but Ill be getting a P-5 eventually.

I've owned 3 previously. an original Warwick Corvette FNA, musicman stingray and my special order musicman bongo.
Fernandes atlas 5x. I've recently purchased one a few weeks ago and it sounds totally awesome. For a passive bass, it has an incredible punch sound with smooth lows and clear highs. It also sounded awesome with my effects. I am thinking about buying a 4-string version for different tunings.
