Well that's the thing, I don't mind the 3EQ, but I'd like to try the 2EQ in the fretless to satisfy my inner Pino! I have a 2EQ fretted in the same colour, both from the same month and year, so I'd like them to match.
I don't see how adding a 3 way blade switch would be less hassle, or less likely to affect resale value - I would have thought that was more invasive than simply adding a rotary knob where the input jack would be on the control plate. I'm really not gonna be selling it I don't think, as it's an awesome bass, and it's from my birth year
Thanks for your post though, I'm fairly sure the Pickup Coil option will be what I go for, just thought I'd open it up for discussion as there is bound to be other options I haven't thought of!
