Yep! That's pretty much what separates them from the MIJ.
The Japanese RI models have the 3 knob - volume, volume, tone, output jack configuration.
I have the John East Retro J preamp, hipshot tuners and bridge hopfully arriving this week.
Nothing wrong per say with the current setup, but I love hipshot hardware and I spoiled myself on their bridges years ago.
My buddy just did his with the East preamp and it sounds delicious. I can't wait.
Nice, love it man.

fuuuuuuuuuck that's hot. 34" scale?
lately I've been more into the simplicity of one pickup...all you really need in life is a neck pickup.
What's the switch for, coil split mode?

30" it's 60's - 70's japanese... the switch is weird... it.. is a three way that in 1: is off, 2: tone control bypass, 3, tone control bypass but runs you through the same cap as on the tone control so it's like having the tone control on full "tone"

Weird

That's the way to do it, though. Awesome.

1984 Squire Bullet Bass. Strung with flat-wound 45's, I had to sand down the nut to get the strings to fit.
