Hi Paul, here are some more details on the electronics, you have already noted some aspects that come quite close to what you said... The electronics were modified for the first owner of this MK Deluxe. The job was done by Edwin at the Bass Connection in Holland, the Alembic distributor for the Benelux countries. The original was: volume, pan, filter, filter; Q switch and Q switch. The mods were the following: 1. added a master volume on the expected most front place 2. took out the pan and changed by a volume; so we got bridge and neck PU volumes. 3. Added a switch for circuit break with a red LED (red led replaced later by a switch for the red SIMS front & side led's) that indicated if the bass was on circuit break or not. It came from the time I mostly let the bass with the jack in. Those were done just up from the place were the jack would be. 4. the jack socket was replaced by a PU selector switch (not orginal in first place, but I ordered and fitted an original one later) 5. The jack socket was brought to the side. The mods were done in order to bring them nearer to the Series II electronics, the main difference is still the fact that the Series II basses sport single coil pickups plus a hum cancelling PU as well as the continously variable Q filter (instead of the simple 2-way switches here)... Ciao!
