This, 100%. The most appreciable feature of Sire’s preamp is the always-on passive tone control. About preamps with different curves for boosting and cutting, many Bartolini have this logic. IIRC the preamps with switchable mid frequency change only the boost curve and not the cut.

Complex passive. That’s an idea I am juggling in my head: - two humbuckers - pickup switch - switch for single coils - volume control (I use it a lot) - low-pass filter with three knobs (freq, slope, and res) - a switch for mid scoop (like, -6dB at 475Hz) It’ 4 knobs and 3 switches...

With 1000 EUR I can: - buy a Cort Artisan B4 (~450) - change the plastic nut with a tusk one (10) - get a CNC fretwork + general setup from Thomann (200) Now I have a 660 EUR bass. Hard to find something better at 2000 but for aesthetics, as the Cort body wood can have a good or less good vein...
