I'll give you answers to every question you have regarding the Bite Bass during the Weekend with some pictures. Sandbergs are obviously no-brainers. You can find them for a rather good price second hand too (I've seen one for 1.3k at a british shop). Alternatively there is also the Sandberg electra line which uses German parts and assembly in south Korea (or the other way around, i forgot). I would personally stay away from Maruszczyk. The guy is a prick and the Instruments don't hold up well over the years. I've also heard stories of terrible customer support. FGN is also a save bet with their Mighty Power PP Bass. LowEndLobster Reviewed the Bass and gave it 5/5 claws (stars).

They have 8 base colors which are a bit cheaper. I went for a custom color which was 30-40€ extra I think. They do every color, burst or graphic but it obviously gets pricier the more special you want. Not much different from other builders. I included a picture of my Bite Bass which is how I mentioned in a custom color -Eggshell white because their blonde was to blond and their white to white.

I do own a Bite Bass, the P Body with two reverse P pickups with positioning similar to a 70s Jazz Bass. Im happy with mine, I only have (had) an american L2K for a proper high-end comparison. The Bass feels very well put together, very comparable to the build quality of the L2K. The pots got a bit scratchy as ftet 4 months of owning it, I still have to figure out why that is. I can send you an MP3 of a sound comparison versus a Squier CV60 equipped with an EMG Geezer P Pickup. I'll probably switch the pickups out to Geezers because I personally prefer the slightly more Vintagey voice of the Geezers. The Bite pickups do have their merrit though, they work perfectly in many applications, live aswell as in my very unprofessional home studio. I've actually picked up my Bass from their little Workshop because I live in Vienna (where there HQ is located) very lovely people. If you have any specific questions (anybody in the thread) please ask me them.
