The 62 only has two (concentric) control knobs instead of the usual three. Can anyone tell me how they work? Do they control both pickups and tone? And the ultimate question -- do you like the bass tone you get?

Thanks, yeah that at least confirms what I thought about what the knobs control -- but how do they work? Are they push/pull? Does turning them simultaneously affect both tone and volume? Is it a pain in the arse or easy to get the tone you want with this configuration?

(The reason I'm asking is I'm thinking about grabbing one of these but I'm unfamiliar with the non-traditional two-knob setup.)

Well, I did some more web research and figured out how the controls work so that mystery is solved. My only question now is how good this bass sounds. :D
