Yeah, here I paid %40 less for my top (ish) Cort vs a stingray sub. I guess cort is simply bigger in Europe.
I was watching some videos of new headless ibanez basses the other day and they have the exact panga panga fret boards as mine.
Another detail for @howard the bass doesn’t really has active / passive. The switch is simply by passing the EQ knobs so switch off gives same output as all knobs in center. No battery no output.
Wasn’t a deal breaker for me but funny that it is presented officially to be an active / passive switch.
