I came across this on Instagram, and i thought it showed really well the difference between them. Im not sure if its been posted before, but never the less, its also a beautiful picture. I think the mk2 is proably my favourite from this pic.
I bought a kit from ebay to make into a stack control plate for another bass, but time restrictions deem this unattainable. So its up for sale. Cts pots and fender parts, with black/silver stack knobs and push back cloth wiring. First to get me £60 wins. Posted.
Ill have a check on weight when i get home. If you google it, then youll probably get a fairly accurate figure.
With regards to the finish, i dont think they did white. However, i dont know what its original colour was.
