Why would someone route an extra pickup hole for a StingRay 4H?

Maybe it was the first step toward turning the bass into a very awkward percussion instrument. Maybe the previous owner was an audiophile who thought that routing out cavities in the bass would increase acoustic resonance or whatever. Maybe he was just a crazy woodworker who thought he was making a birdhouse. Or maybe...
Oh, don't be absurd...
Stingrays had the hole done in the factory. Friend of mine has a Cutlass and had a hole for the single in neck position pre-done. He put quarterpounder in there and that bass kills.

My name is Hank Rutherford Hill, and I've been selling propane and propane accessories for the past 25 years. I have a Stingray 4H, with a professionally routed neck pickup hole without the switch, I tell you hhwhat. I appreciate good American craftsmanship as much as the next guy, but it's asinine!
Should I just cover it up with a pickguard from Mega-Lo Mart?

Funny, but Hank plays guitar, and Dale does synth bass

If it were me, I'd move the output jack to the side of the body, and install a blender knob where the output jack was. There are a lot of things you could do though.
