Ok Mica, I changed MS PC for Imac and now I lost my photoshop !! Anyway, Mac is soooo best... I can wait to have the best picture editor.
Here is a picture for the position knobs/switch I want. If you have best proposition, I will agree.

precision: put the stereo 5 pin and jack outputs at the same position as standard series I. Maybe just a little higher to let some place for the bridge pickup q-switch. But not like my koa bass :o) Thank's

Mica please forget the first idea, I was thinking this night because not to much sleep.
This is the best idea for me:



Please, position the pointer knob of the pickup selector as Stanley's bass, thank's

I want to work on this layout a little bit, the bass pickup Q switch is awfully close to the filter, and the master volume looks a little "stuck on" so I need to relate it to something.

You want and LED on/off switch, but no stereo/mono switch for the 1/4" jack? If that's so, do you want the 1/4" jack wired in stereo or in mono?

?? exist on serie I mono/stereo switch ? Or only on the red tiger I took for example ? No Mica, no switch mono/stereo, only mono jack output if both pickups are connected on, thank's. I want to be able to play with both pickup's sound with jack.

Work on this like you want if you respecxt the general idea. Yesterday night, I was playing with the Koa bass, 2 times I was hurting the master vol pot and change unfortunatly the volume... for less !

OK, so here's some ideas.
layout1
This one is very much like yours above, but with some more aligning and a touch more room for the master volume plus a little more room from the Q switches to their neighboring knobs. The switches themselves are slightly closer together this way.


Another idea:
layout 2
Leaves more room for the Q switches. Maybe this is more confusing with the bass pickup Q switch located where the treble pickup Q switch usually is, but everything has a little more room around it. You'll know which will work out best for you.

And happy birthday!

Thank for your wishes Mica !
Please take the way for the first solution.
I never touch the Q switches, but I could do it one day :-)
