From another ESL user, yes: Japanese company.

I have no idea what TNC means so I checked both.
Agreed, haha!
TNC? OK Millenial. I am old. What do you mean by that?
I think those goldarn young whippersnappers do it purposely to befuddle us geezers.
TNC = Tuna Noodle Casserole, often discussed/meme-ised over at the "Off Topic" subforum, is the guess I'd venture.

Copy/pasta: "BACCHUS HANDMADE series "WOODLINE" The performance model of "Passive Base" "WL4DX - ASH / M" pursuing cost performance without change in appearance · looks appeared Limited model. Burner treatment is applied to the body's ash wood, and the powerful appearance that the grain of Ash stands out is impressive one more. We have a lineup of 8 colors to make use of that grain, you can choose your favorite color. The slim and easy-to-hold body shape gives a fearless impression coupled with the block position of the fingerboard and the pearl binding. Ash body's wide range sound is not a genre, it is a straight sound with good handling for players. By pulling up the tone knob, "Turbo switch" is turned ON, making a thick sound as a pseudo humbucking PU is also possible by connecting two single PU series."

I'm glad I finally read the description; I had no idea about the tone knob "turbo" switch. I'll try it and update this tomorrow.

I like it. Congrats!
 
So the turbo pull-pot is interesting, and a first for me. If you pull it up it defeats the bridge pickup volume knob and assigns both pups to the neck pup knob. If the neck pup is turned off, the bass just mutes. Kinda odd. Very comfortable bass but quite neck divey. I've yet to use a strap with it as I don't have any currently that aren't fitted with straplocks but I'm looking forward to trying that. Sounds great through my new bass rig o'doom:

Yep. If I understand correctly, the bridge pickup volume pot is defeated because in series mode it would be in the whole circuit, influencing the tone by just being there and also acting as a master volume just like the other one (=having both, either one turned to less than max would lower the output, with panning out of the question anyway), so it makes sense to exclude it when series is selected.

The volume pot of the bridge pickup is simply bypassed. It is not because of the tone but because in series you have only one pick up capturing your sound. The other one (the bridge in this case) is merely offering a resistance, creating a beefier sound.

You can think of it as a regular humbucker where the two coils have a 4’’ restraining order.

I often think Fender should have a small office somewhere deep in the belly of the beast, whose only function is to very quietly study the various Japanese Fender-clones (Bacchus, Moon, Atelier, etc.), and straight up copy the coolest ones as next year's New Models.

That finish must be a thing over there, some of the SDGR Ibanez were sporting that look as well.

NICE axe.
