Yeah man, it could have done with a few stacked pots but I actually quite like having individual pots (even if it looks a bit busy ). And you’re right, the switching is for mid select (400/800) and passive/ active.

There is a less than zero percent chance of me ever remembering what that many knobs and switches do...and that's before we consider that extra string!
Yes but you guaranteed finding out who are the musicians in the crowd.
Current stable:
Sadowsky SC5~WL5-22…
Mike Lull IMA4~P5…
Fbass BN6~AC6…
MTD USA AG430-24…
…and, one final (yes, final) build in the works (Lull PT5)…

Picked up a “sister” for the anniversary bass. the store had a couple of player pbasses. I felt like there was a difference in tone between them. Ive also tried the marcus miller v5 and v8. The v8 had a great neck but waaaay to many knobs and it wasn’t the sound I am looking for. Somehow only a Fender sounds like a Fender. So one with rounds, one with flats, and the old jazz Will go to my recently retired father because he wants to play a fretted bass again.

I have an obsession for wood. The musical kind.
Schecter Stiletto Studios...phenomenal workhorses
ESP LTD F-1005...tons of Spector-like growl
Kiesel Icon...plays, sounds, and looks ridiculous

Eagle was a Japanese brand that made knock offs of Fender/Gibson guitars, likely by the same company that made Hondo guitars/basses. My first guitar was a The Paul copy by Eagle. The logo on the bass in your picture is more like the ones made in the 70s that were direct copies, but nowhere near as good as the famed Ibanez/Greco copies. Later (80s) Eagle guitars/basses had a different logo with an Eagle's head incorporated in it and the shape of later Les Paul headstocks is identical to those on Hondo guitars made in the 80s. They are cheap and can be serviceable instruments.
Nice pair. You like them and they sound good, therefore they ARE good. That's that so have fun.Here are my bass guitars. they are both Glarry. They are cheap, (each under $100), but they don't sound bad. What do you all think of that brand? Someday (when I have more money) I'd like to trade them for a classic vibe P and 5 String Jazz bass.

We buy (and often mod) our cheap basses to make them something even better. That's not to say that many members don't keep them stock.
They are an example of the modern mass production process getting more and more right while pushing the cost of entry level instruments down.
None of us will say they are perfect. But they are great for starting out or for serving as an affordable sacrifice for our mad designs...

Speaking as the current club-admitter-guy-dude, we ask that you post pics of your lovely, qualifying basses on the thread with the magic words, "Can I get a number?" and I'll be along to make it official!
