That is a beautiful bass. Did the custom knobs come with it when you got it?

Hello Bill,
Original owner club member Olie put them on.
Wood not plastic.
Pretty good match.
Very easy to adjust during play.
Don't remember where he got them but he said they cost $300 !

Well worth the 3 bills I'll say. That has got to be one of the sweetest looking MKs I have seen. I understand you never wanting to part with it. Way to go Steve.
