I have played this bass a number of times- it is SPECIAL even for a Roscoe, and Hayden takes the best care of his instrument of maybe anyone I’ve ever met.

Does it have a volume/blend or volume/volume knobs too?
The knob positioned the highest is the main volume, the one closest to it to the left is mids, the one across from that is highs, and the knob that is positioned the lowest (it has two separate knobs on it) the knob itself is low-mids, and the knob that is connected at the bottom is the lows.

So no way to select the pickups? I'm confused, first it was 5 bands of eq, then 4 plus volume? My guess is there is volume, blend, mid, and bass/treble stack.

Do you know the string spacing?

Thanks

Now, I'm confused, too. There's a volume, then 4 tone knobs.

In that case you might want to amend your OP which states clearly that there are 5 tone knobs:

Five tone knobs (5th one at bottom of knob closest to bridge)

All three of my Roscoes have had a volume, blend and three tone knobs. I don't mean to seem insulting but are you sure you aren't mistaking the pickup blend for a mid-tone knob? I can see how that might happen. You seem to know what you are talking about, but given the confusion about it I thought it might be worth asking.

The pickup blend is on a knob that "clicks" upwards and u can blend from there. It's on the high end knob. Thanks for pointing that out.

Or you can just buy the bass and find out for yourself! It's a great bass and you should add it to your arsenal.
