I love this bass! Paul Lindemans (palembic) Advanced Member Username: palembic Post Number: 370 Registered: 9-2002 Posted on Tuesday, April 01, 2003 - 10:41 pm:    Wow Donald. nice piece of art! Just tell me: why is it a Series I with Series II electronics? I'm still confused about this. Paul (TBO) James L.

Series 1 Body: semi-hollow, 5 laminate body (Donald's is probably maple/purpleheart/mahogany/purpleheart/maple), chrome hardware standard, gold plate optional. Series II Body: semi-hollow, 7 laminate body, side LEDs, gold plate hardware standard. Series I Elec.: 2 volumes, 2 Q filters, 2 three-position Q switches, 1 pickup selecter. Series II Elec.: 2 volumes plus 1 master volume, 2 Q filters, 2 continuously variable Q controls (instead of switches), 1 pickup selector. What Donald has PROBABLY done was order the Series I body and upgraded to Series II electronics ($200). One of my basses is a Mark King Deluxe with upgrade to Series II electronics.

She has brass hardware ( I mean bridge etc) and gold plated Schaller tuners, no side leds. Well, it's how I received her back in 1996. Doesn't change for me. Plays and sounds nice! Thanks guys Paul BTW: I'll need a mover to change her from thread SII to thread SI LOL (Message edited by palembic on April 04, 2003) Donald Pasewark (pasewark) Junior Username: pasewark Post Number: 15 Registered: 4-2003 Posted on Friday, April 04, 2003 - 11:19 am:    One more thing. When I order this bass that months special was a selection of free upgrades. I choose the AAAA maple, mother of pearl fret makers and inlayed silver/abalone logo.
