The stock Pickups in these are pretty lame , IMO. The EMG 35TW w/ Push-Pull pot makes a lot of difference and adds some useful tonal possibilities.
I used a Duke neck to make my first 5 string w/ low B and played it exclusively throughout the 90's. I cut/routed a piece of oak for a body, machined a Bridge and Nut, then settled on an EMG J. It was very unique and played amazingly well. I played and purchased a Cirrus 5 and the Duke quickly became obsolete.

No bass becomes obsolete, they just get extended vacations!
