Similar basses. Which one?

I would choose the Hagstrom. They make beautiful instruments and that is a wonderful looking example. I don't know about the balance but pretty sure you could find a strap to make it work. That body shape does tend to neck dive.

Hagstrom by a mile. It’s gonna play amazingly and those tuners are absolutely sick. Hagstrom makes great basses

Dunable but mostly because I’m more familiar with their products and live driving distance from the Los Angeles headquarters.

I wonder if folks praising Hagstrom basses have played both the current Chinese made instruments or are basing their decisions on having played the Swedish made models years ago.
I own and love a 70s Swede Bass and must confess I've never played the new ones but have heard about rough frets and lower standards on construction and materials on the new Chinese instruments. It's not the same company in some ways and you couldn't expect it to be.

I am a huge fan of the 70s Hags, but I have found the modern ones are really disappointing in many ways

I’d have the same reservations about ergonomics as others mentioned.
I also tend to prefer three knobs versus four, but it depends on what the setup is.

Cool looking basses.

I got the Fender Aerodyne Precision in white for that white with black binding vibe.

I'd go with the Dunable but only because their products seem pretty consistently good.
