Of course, they're still in several 2006 models.
Here's the 2005/2006 parts catalogue:
https://cs.hoshinogakki.co.jp/i-public/faces/Login00.jsp

3PU1H58BG HUM. PICKUP/BRIG SUPER58 CTM GOL
3PU1H58NG HUM. PICKUP/NECK SUPER58 CTM GOL

B = Bridge
N = Neck

For jazz you don't need the tri-sound wiring.
You need a full warm neck humbucker sound.

But if you're into experiments, read this thread:
http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/17/2114.html

I wouldn't pay the double price of my AS120 to get a tri-sound switch (read AS200) and I wouldn't sell my 2355 to get it.

But you could buy an AS120 player and start experimenting. You could also use your Artcore AS75 for it. It can only improve.

Don't think to long, you can have a fine AS120 for half the price of an AS200 and you can keep the 2355. (You don't really want to sell it anyway)

the wiring diagram for the tri-sound is in the above thread. The Super 70 and 80 were old pickups, the Super 58 is an improvement and its gold covered version is still used in the high end jazz models.

But start buying a good guitar now it is still there... and keep at least $400.- in your pocket.

Choose your country, then English and then
you should use "catalogue search" (NOT KEYWORD SEARCH, BECAUSE THIS ONLY WORKS ON KNOWN PART NRS) and pick the "2005/2006 catalogue". Then click on "pickups".

Freak knows the way for prices in the US.

Jazzbo:

The link works OK for me. Maybe you're having a problem because it's a .jsp page (Java Server Page). Does your browser support this type of web page?

Jazzbo:

You could try this page:

http://www.ibanez.com/parts/2004_PARTS/el_guitar/index/index_parts.html

This will take you right to the 2004 parts index page on www.ibanez.com. Select Pickup from the menu on the left. Scroll down the list and you'll find the following:

3PU1J158G1 GOLD PICK UP(IBZ/SUPER58) NECK
3PU1J158G2 GOLD PICK UP(IBZ/SUPER58) BRIDGE

At this time you can't buy parts directly from Ibanez. You'll need to give the numbers to an authorized Ibanez dealer who can order the parts for you, if they don't have them in stock. There are no prices available on-line.
