Rory jazzyvee Intermediate Member Username: jazzyvee Post Number: 125 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, June 08, 2004 - 9:38 am:    Just something that crossed my mind. Is there any difference in the electronics or the way they are set up between the Stanley Clarke and Mark King Signature Models? Or, are the differences between the two models purely in wooden bits of the bass.. ie the body shape, scale length, neck, types of wood etc ?

For the Signature Deluxe, the Stanley Clark comes standard w/ Rosewood top laminates, while the Mark King comes standard w/ Coco Bolo top laminates. The electronics are identical, the body woods are the same, and even the wood and laminates used in the neck are identical. Of course, you can customize and change all that.
