I'm assuming the 2017 EB Bass has the De Cola pickups. I notice that they don't have the coil tapping variations the 2015 TBIV's had. I like simplicity but the coil tapping switches on the '15 TBIV was a nice option that gave quite a wide range of possibilities. You could actually go to a gig or in the studio and not have to bring along a Jazz or a precision and still have a TBIV.
