I guessed G&L from the pu but other than that...

Oooh, a Cabronita tele-bass.
Here’s one I made from parts I found online. Plus some special-made pickups
That Fellas is a G&L inspired build my buddy made for me several years ago. I just popped a Tonestyler in it this weekend.

All very cool!
If you ever take the pg off your Grand I'd love to see a pic of the electronics to see how they are doing their passive fuzz.
active or passive, the agony of choice, as we say in Germany
Edit: and yes, no Fender included

Where there is choice there is also misery lol.
This is my first post on the TB, but have been lurking in the background off and on for years. You might recognize the screen name from a few guitar forums. My first experience with the low end was with my daughter's SX Ursa 1. I toyed with it off and on, but never got serious with it. She's since moved out, got married and made me a grandfather! I haven't played with one in about 5 years.
Anyways, I have since got my own to play around with. It's A Donner DPB-510B. Surprisingly it's a decent budget bass for learning on. I'm having fun with it and definitely progressing quicker with it than I have with guitar.
I got it for $118.40 shipped new in box, before they raised the price and I had a 20% coupon code. I also got an incredible deal on an Ashdown Studio 8 practice amp of $99.99 new! At the time it was normally $164.99. After the sale it went up to $199.99 and two weeks later it went up to $219.99!
I think I got started at a very reasonable price.
