Jazz: S1 switch sound without switch?

I played a Jazz with the S1 switch last week, and with the switch engaged it sounded sweet. Really really nice. Obviously because it's A Good Thing, Mr Fender has ditched the idea - so is it possible to get a similar sound out of one of the huge range of current Jazz range? Passive P with a J neck would be ideal of course, but I've not made my mind up about the look/quality of either Aerodyne yet.

the jazz S1 changes the resistance from around 6-7 to double...around a hot P spec

if you 'S1' a P/J in my opinion the overall sound would be a bit muddy...

the twin jazz pup configuration as parallel is the better and borne out by the parallel setting on the stingray

for me the sound has more top clarity especially if using tone cut measures
