It's really not the point of choosing the SimS pickups, but I'm stumped on the total number of pickup options.
I've got 9 single pickup options and 27 doubles which gives the 36. I hit my mathematical limit on the triples, though. Writing a list or tapping out the possibilities with my fingertips, the ol' cauliflower wheezes to a halt at 21. The formulae are beyond me as it's a mix of permutation and combination, I think.
So 57 is my probably wrong sum.
Regardless, although I've never named a bass before, '42' seems quite an apt moniker for this one!
