Loads of Rush songs, and the bass intro to Sabbath's NIB.
There's other songs as well, but as many have said... just don't have the patience (or the time).
What is the guitar focussed rig you're running?
I use a Line6 POD Go for all my bass modelling / effects, so if you have something like that then running a guitar/bass set up is as easy as switching between presets.
Quitting the band goes through my mind quite often, this isn't helped either by the depression or the bell-end of a singer.
The annoying thing is that getting into a room to make some noise is therapy for both (at least while the bell-end singer is singing, he's not talking).
Apologies, I assumed that it was the "old" style bridge, however, it does look as though there is a small amount of space under the E string saddle. You could try to drop that to lower the string height.
You don't show any pictures of the bridge/saddles. Have you adjusted the grub screw on the bass side?
It does need an imperial set of allen keys, but they are well worth having if you own a Ric.
I've tried that, but it just doesn't sound quite as good as with the circuit disengaged.
It's always better when you roll off a bit of volume on the bridge pickup. IMO of course.
