I like the ideas behind the instrument, as well as the whole bass itself. Congrats! (By the way: how is a fast neck specified?)

Coil-magnet pickup is a band-pass filter: it does not reach very high frequencies, nor it does go to DC in the low end. The response is everything but flat.

If the cab is airtight, that will be functional. If not, the element, and the bass response will suffer.

Flat response and coil-magnet pickup? Contradictionary terms.

Loudness depends on more than one or two parametres. Wattage is pretty poor indicator, although it is one part of the complicated equation. Impedance is misleading, as it is usually marked as one number, while it actually changes quite a lot depending on the frequency. Listen to the sound, and choose the one that you like. If your choice depends on the specifications, do your homework and read the marketing stuff. Many of the meaningful parametres are not published.

GK looks a lot like Gallien-Krueger, although it sounds a bit like Glock-n-Klang.

Schalltechnik i.e. Julian has decided to stop delivering kits after 7 years. He has been supportive, and I wish he would get back to business.

I have mono for one and two basses. I especially like the details, like good pockets, and the velcro that anchors the bass to the case. It has already saved my bass, because I was not so sharp with the zipper.

Stevie Wonder, Motown. 1980's brit pop. Jazz in general. Peter Gabriel's So. I have to say that the line from Everybody wants to rule the world is a lesson for any bassist. Plain simple and functional.

Now quickly to local screw shop to buy one. The tuning machine will eventually break after a short time. Take a look at the open tuners and you may see, that the construction will break without all parts required. Run! or start saving for a new unit. https://hipshotproducts.com/collections/bass-tuning

Blue looks good, Kinder excellent!

The fancy "flat" sound works in the shop, but finding your own sound takes some effort and time. Take the pot hats away, tune the sound, and put the hats back adjusted to noon.

@Bill Fitzmaurice, if you read his comment carefully, he's after a cab that consumes all the power. Not after the loudness. I have to say that if there is something where marketing department has succeeded, the "maximum power @ 4 ohms" is one. No one talks about dBs, or sensitivity. Too revealing.

Even hifi amps can have hidden eqs: a flat switch may turn on some extra bass while bypassing treble, bass, loudness etc.

Once I saw a gig where a local band had a stand in from the States: Jimmy Haslip. He played only right notes, nothing extra. Tight, functional notes. After the set the band was applauded back to play an extra. Then the band gave Mr. Haslip a place to solo, and he played a nice one. Once more, he played the right notes throughout the song. Not all notes. Functional, really educating gig for me. Marcus Miller's solo work is not my thing. But I really like his work as a sideman. He plays very tight stuff, all notes serve the songs.

I suppose you have done this the right way: the intonation should be set with new strings only. Dirt and wear affect the intonation.

Output jack has a free ground lug. I might solder few ground wires for a hassle-free harness. It is true that the plate is conductive, but loose screws could produce strange issues later on.

The origins of this shape is from wooden Affirma (AFR), designed by the late Rolf Spuler. Production at the Ibanez factory (whichever it was) started in the early 90's. There are slightly modified reissues available, too.

No chance to measure any difference. Someone may claim other. If the cable length was 300 ft. we might hear some loss in the highest area in comparison.

The original Sabre had two pickups. Leo wasn't purist, why should you be?

Which was sung by Rick Astley to the Calrec sound field mic. Because of the mic, he sounded like... Kylie? I had to buy the single back then just to test it with slower speed and... I still love SAW's joke. Just listen to the choirs.
