I am wondering why Fender would decide on such a comparatively limited
control array.  All I can think is that it musta been cheaper to
procure,

Well, yeah it's cheaper but not THAT much cheaper!  The big reason is
that in a passive bass these more elaborate wirings do not work well.
For example, the Vol/vol Tone/tone thing has problems that the two
tone controls short together when volumes are max and the volumes
interact with the tone controls. Similarly vol/blend controls tend to
not work well with passive basses leading to tone changes and reduced
output. All of these setups work easily with an active bass which is
usually where you see them.

The original array I have seems to work great, with the vol/tone, vol/
tone setup. And it's all passive. I hope it is destined to be
trouble-free, because it really does sound better than the traditional
J-Bass control array.
