I'm not, and I still think it's kinda cute. As it is, I think this bass will be pretty misunderstood in the regular "basses" forum.

SWEET!!!!! If I had 1200 lying around I'd pick it up and just look at it...all the time. |

Personally, I'd go a bit more subtle- say an Azola Eurocoustic in seafoam green w/purple flames & no leopard print. But to each his own.

((((Joking.))))

Absolutely hideous! What a mess for someone to correct.. I'd never attempt to restore that DB. Thats hundreds of hours minimum I'm sure. |

I really dig this. I used to play upright/electric in a sci fi surf band in Boston called the Fliptones. We used to dress up as if we had just fully outfitted ourselves from the Monty Ward catalog - slightly undersize polysester suits, etc.. This would have worked perfectly... |

I've heard that K&K slap pick-up system and those are fantastic for translating good slap sound in a high amplification situation. If it's in good playing condition, the price is a steal for a vintage Kay. The cool paint job and pick-up system is just gravy.

For sure, a neck pickup (like the K&K) is a must to get good volume out of the slap. K&K seems to be the "standard". |

If I'm right somethings should not be "restored" imo
that bass is perfect
