Stop discriminatin' in favor of "The 'Man"

Allow any bass pickup to be moved to the "sweet spot" position - this is a standard option for Music Man humbuckers, as well as offered for the Dark Star (but only for $45 extra), and for some pickup routs on Geckos, but there seems to be little reason why it couldn't be any pickup rout.  There will have to be some limitations, but that's already the case (no P-bass neck + Music Man sweet spot).  Should it not also be possible to add a sweet spot position in addition to some 2 pickup combos (aka the "turbo" position)?  Three J-bass pickups would be kinda sweet, yes?

Related: why does the Gecko allow the single pickup/sweetspot option for the Duncan ASB2/M4, but not the ASB/P2?  The 6 string has the ASB-6 & ASB2-6, but not the 5?  Or is that just a website omission?

Bump & a further thought:  add guitar pickup routs for bass bodies as a standard option.

Maybe not all the pickup routs, but consider humbucker, P-90 or TV Jones sized routs for basses as a standard options.  TV Jones makes bass pickups with all of the above sized housings, EMG makes guitar humbucker sized and soapbar sized pickups, among others.  And there are plenty of rail magnet guitar pickups that have the bass response & output level to easily serve as bass pickups (I've done so with one of these; sounded awesome.)  Carvin's M22SD is basically the same as their M22B bass pickup from the 80s.

Fender sells 3 Cabronita basses now, plus the Coronado bass uses bass 'trons, and there are other users of bass 'trons.  Just a thought, since the sizes are already programmed into the CNCs.
