yes.
The placement is closer to the bridge, though. Neck pickup on the EB tends to woof a little bit more (more sub-lows).

Agreed with the above...except...
I find the coil tap to be not particularly useful...the double coil mode has a very useful mid-range bump for cutting through the mix...and this is pretty much from a Fender guy...
It does get a very pure bass sound that sits very well in the mix. Love it so far. Specially the short scale.

So far I really like the 3 point...except the part where the saddle falls out when you are changing strings...that is maddening.

Motown will teach you how to be a better player. Fewer notes, all dropped in exactly the right place.
Play the pocket. It's almost like meditation.

I would like to hear an "All Things Must Pass" naked...Like "Let it Be" naked
Lety it Be is a fine album with all the shit removed. I imagine All Things Must Pass is also.

Mine is very comfortable. Makes it hard to want to play the 5 string. Maybe I'll go back to 4. I still really like my EPI T Bird Pro, also. I do find the short scale ot the Les Paul some how "eases" the automatic mind-body connection with bass...I e. easier to play without having to think about it too much.

I always try to keep an instrument original unless, say a tuner is broken, or doesn't work.

I saw them several years back. They are nothing like the Allmans. They are a category unto themselves...
Just listened to the cut...going to Amazon right now.

Ok...gig report...
In a big room (200+bar) it sounded really good.
Much less "woof" than my 2013 EB, probably due to pickup spacing. Was a true plug and play kind of experience. Noticeably more "Fenderish" due to the pickup being in the sweet spot, I guess. More fun to play than the 5 string, also. Much lighter, also.
Still need the 5 string for some tunes in the keys that we do them in...
Very happy overall.

Agreed about setup
Harmonics were close
Just had to tighten the rod a bit and lower the bridge a tad.
Didn't have to touch the nut...

Why would anyone go to the trouble to counterfeit what is not a particularly valuable bass?
