Serial is 86 4202 Is it a series 2? Any feedback would be helpful. Thank you.

The lack of a letter after the 86 denotes Series. The presense of CVQ knobs instead of Q switches, and the master volume, means Series II rather than Series I. That's the Balanced Omega body, which is not very common. Beautiful bass! The position of the neck pick-up logo, however, indicated that it is mounted 180° off.

Someone who knows more than I please chime in! (That does not narrow the field much around here). The aesthetics of it would bother me, but that's just me.

It sounds great even without the special power supply and its cable wich i dont't have...
