Question: Big Al Slanted Pickup

Question: Big Al Slanted Pickup

Question is why was it decided to use a slanted pickup at the bridge rather than a straight pickup on the Big Al bass. A jazz bass has a straight pickup in a similar position.

Was it because the guitar version was like this and makes it look more like a strat? Or was there a sonic reason for it?

Thanks
