You are correct sir.  However, as an owner of the stealth plus I wanted 
to point out that I thought the driver sounded pretty cool as a pickup. 
  You can't have both though.  Lucky for me I wasn't using the neck 
pickup much on my Steinberger.  However, on my G&L running the neck and 
middle pickup together is my favorite tone.

OK, maybe we're boring, but it's good to be feeding this repository of 
gear fetish knowledge.
