The pistol grip is cool too. Is your MK as heavy as your Series bass? I have a MK with a Burl Maple top and back and it is WAY heavier than my Series II with Walnut top and back. babinko New Username: babinko Post Number: 8 Registered: 2-2005 Posted on Saturday, November 04, 2006 - 6:44 am:    The Series II and the MK seem to weight about the same to me. I can tell you in the first 5 minutes of playing the MK, with the custom neck and the signature electronics with the Europa bass boost switch, the playability and sound I was instantly sold! So I guess my Series II will be a hanger queen for awhile. jseitang Intermediate Member Username: jseitang Post Number: 186 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - 10:20 am:    whats up with the dummy pickup on the mark king??? does it actually do anything? pray tell! eastcoastepic Intermediate Member Username: eastcoastepic Post Number: 189 Registered: 10-2003 Posted on Tuesday, November 28, 2006 - 7:43 pm:    Very nice presentation, Brad. An Alembic for each of the last 3 decades...something we should all aspire to! It is indeed a fine looking family....... olsonsw Junior Username: olsonsw Post Number: 18 Registered: 11-2006 Posted on Saturday, December 23, 2006 - 9:17 am:    It's like King - Queen - Jack (in Alembic kingdom) hehehe...very cool Brad!!
