The Switches are NEW. If your Bass was made with only one battery, don't bother looking. If it was made with TWO batteries, then the switch is there.

Mine has the old 9V circuit, so guess I'll have to just stick the the awesome tone I already get.

Out of curiosity, what is the cost to refit my bass with the new electronics?

The circuit is $300. plus installation ($50.?) BUT if your Bass has the series/parallel switches in it already we can't fit the second battery. This is essentially a 9v circuit with two batteries. It runs the same either way so we can jump the wires and fit it as a 9v as well. We have done this already and draws the same power as the old circuit with 1, 2 or 20 batteries.

Might be something for me to look into down the road.

LOL! Bob, I agree, just stick with that awesome tone you're already getting.
