Questions / comments about Electric instruments

My vision is keeping prices low.

um..sorry to butt in, but I just couldn't resist.
As a "short-scale bass" user, it's great to find somebody that makes one in the US at a gigging musician's budget-point.
Incidentally...would it be possible for you to go into a bit more detail about the tone-switch on the single-pickup bass?

Well thanks! I will gladly explain the tone switch, or rather I can explain the function of the switch.
When the switch is in the middle position the tone is unaffected. With the switch thrown forward the tone knob acts as a treble bleed just like normal.
If the switch is thrown backward then the tone knob acts as a bass bleed.
There is a slight loss of volume with the bass bleed but a boost pedal would easily fix that.
I LOVE the middle pickup position on a bass but thought it odd that there aren't more tonal options in a single pickup bass unless you go with active electronics (not a fan).
This circuit opens up more possibilities withing the tonal spectrum!
