I like that pickup choice. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2158 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 - 8:33 am:    The control plate is unusual. It looks good and fits well with the bass but I wonder if it is original or was done to fix a breakout of the 1/4" jack?

Which is a good thing. I think the same about the plate. Now if it was a planished brass plate like the famous #12, that would look better. I guess the other possibility is that the electronics are not original and the plate is there to get them to fit. keith_h Senior Member Username: keith_h Post Number: 2159 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Wednesday, February 18, 2015 - 12:34 pm:    From the control layout they look like Essence or would it be Elan controls. I see what looks like a Q-switch in its normal position for a V/P/F arrangement. Keith
