Passive bass cut a la G&L?
Series/parallel switch?
Producer switch a la Lee Sklar?
Kill switch?
A little blinking light that does nothing?
Been there. I used Chicago screws:

A coat of beeswax and fresh strings. The old girl cleans up nice
Clearly, there are things in the world that I have not yet seen or even imagined. Now there's one less. Cheers.
This is one of only about 100 made back in '86. Cheers!
What a specimen!

Pretty expensive even for a showroom model, but man, that is sexy!

Hypothetical question...
What pickups would you all recommend for a maple body (Blonde) Thumb? Something other than MEC but has the throatiness. EMGs or Bartolini perhaps?

What are the pickup sizes now, does it have the slanted JJ? If yes, make sure you measure them as that may limit your options for replacements.
I’ve not swapped the Js in my Thumb as I like the classic MEC + 3 band tone in that bass, but I’ve tried the Bartolini Js in a Vette and was never happy with the tone. EMGs may work if you can find the size (I have DC40s in my headless that I really like). Delano may also be a good option, I’ve considered swapping the J in my Streamer FNA with a Delano. I have Delanos (P and M) pickups in my Maruszczyk and they sound really good.
Something about the simplicity of that 12th fret marker that makes that bass gorgeous to me.
Find a set of these Duncans. I think there is one on Reverb right now
As stated above I do like the Duncan's in my SSII.. I do think they are darker than the EMG or Barts tho.
It depends which Barts. I've got a set of 59Js original bass that are dark, smooth, and syrupy. They could use more clank and top end. The classic bass models are supposed to have added bite and brightness.
@AudioTaper why not take this as an opportunity to wind your own set?
I'm already planning on making a body and eventually a neck. What more do you want of me?!?!
