Stingray 4 with 5 knobs?

Hello, I told my cousin to buy me a Stingray 4 in L.A. and bring it to me in Denmark, (the valuta makes it cheap... And I dont have to pay taxes.. well maybe..) He found one at 1200 dollars but it has 5 knobs? ... And I dont see a seperate pickup.. What is it called, and is it better/badder than the Stingray 4 with 4 knobs? Please, I would like a fast response ;)

I'll post a pic later, Im in school and all those damn size limits!!! :D
 
I dont know if this is a noob question but I dont see any bridge pickup.. Btw. I attached a picture.

The piezo is loaded in the saddles, so basically it looks virtually the same apart from the extra knob. Its a nice addition if its not costing you anymore. It can give you a very unique tone. Of course you can just have the normal Stingray sound as well, or blend it, or full piezo. Search youtube for a few vids for demos of it :)
