Great tab! For those playing with a Strat, turn the bridge tone to 0 and have the neck tone at 10. Then put the selector in the bridge/middle position. You'll get a sound that's exactly like Knopfler's.

For Masterplan... putting the pickup selector switch in the middle means you are using both pickups, one turned up and one turned down. even though one is turned down you still get a different sound out of it... try playing a Strat or Les Paul or SG or any other guitar with a three or more way selecter switch and mulitple tone knobs, with those settings and you'll see what he means... (confusing for some people, i know) 5 stars!!
