Maybe SextupleBucker would be a little more...maybe practical isn't the word?
The pull of three TripleBuckers might be too much pull on the strings, too...?

I think a 3-way switch for each TripleBucker ought to do it...off, on, split? Or a 5-way for each? Off, single, humbucker, other pair, all coils? Yeah, confusing.

Project update:
- Time to take off the neck and sell it! As pretty as it looks (and plays!), I know I'll only like it more with a 24 3/4" conversion neck.
- Got a response from Pickguardian...

Found a USED Babicz bridge! Score!

I'm expecting this will create a noticeable change in tone. (Notice the bent metal saddles on the stock bridge, for one. )

The Babicz has saddles that sit flat on the baseplate. Saddle height is adjusted by a cam system, after adjusting intonation, the saddles get locked in place. I at least expect more sustain. But will be happy with just having a bridge that doesn't want to scrape the skin my hand.

WUUUUUUT

[masked elwood]

those babicz bridges are pretty rad. i put one on a LP and it made a huge difference and it's easily my fave bass bridge.
....and i think you have room for at least 3 more pickups on that.

Yeah man, throw that bridge lipstick inside a Rick bass horseshoe and just get wild up in there.

Looking forward to hearing how the Babicz changes the sound. It already feels better, with the lack of adjuster screws.

Yeah, put the pickups in pairs so they look like humbuckers and no one bats an eye! Separate 'em by an inch and I look like a nut case!
It was kind of a last-minute thing...I'd put the order in for two humbucker cutouts, and then said "no wait!"
