I took pictures of my bass

Looks great but those toggle placements would drive me mad being right in front of the knobs.

Brian, I don't claim to be a bass player. I bought a cheap bass 4 years ago because in order for my recordings to sound complete I needed bass. I barely learned how to play since; I essentially just play to make up a bassline and record it for whatever song I happen to be recording.

I did decide that I may want to find a better bass, since I don't really even know what a good bass should sound like. And this deal just fell into my lap this week.

Since I'm not in a band situation I don't know whether the toggles will interfere with playing live or not. When I record obviously I can fiddle with it all I want before I record my 3 minutes of bass. I did consult with a number of knowledgeable bass players who plays this instrument and I have not heard anyone saying that the toggle placements are a problem. May be some of the bass players on this site will chime in on the topic.
