wiring diagram for traben array obsession 5 string bass

anyone have a wiring diagram for a stock traben array obsession 5 string bass with the b and G 3 band eq?

i just got this one today but i do not htink it is wired correctly as there are a couple sopt that looks like wires were soldered in certain locations at one point and were removed, also the little toggle switch seem to act like an on off switch in one position there is no output and the other position the bass does have output ( may be how it is suppose to work for all i know).

anyway, i have a set of strings coming for it and since im going to have it apart for cleaning and setup anyway id like to make sure the wiring is correct while im at it but diagrams are kinda scarce and the few i have found dont exactly match up to how it is currently wired ( one has a toggle and less pots, while the other has no toggle and less pots).

mine has 5 pots total ( one looks like it might be the pup selector/blend, a volume and then 3 other pots which im assuming are eq). i also need the stock toggle switch wiring on it to couble check it and lastly if someone knows what teh little toggle is actually suppose to do ( is it suppose to act like an on-off switch?). i would be greatly appreciated
 
no longer need a diagram, turns out they are all teh same whether you go cheapo chinese or you pay for a more expensive name brand unit so im using cheapo chinese diagram.

also side note for anyone interested, before buying an aquilar, bartolini, etc. do some visual online looking, the name brands are made in teh same factories as the chep chinese units and there is no need to pay +/- $200 for name brand based on reviews i have the cheap chinese units are just as good as if not the exact same as the "name" brand units
