A J-body with an interesting headstock. Any ideas? Cheers ~Mykk

I blanked on the brand name, but checked Ebay, in the Bass Guitar brand selection box, and quickly recalled it. As you can see, the headstock in the screen cap match the Ebay photos. It's another Chinese-made pseudo-copy (I say pseudo- because the headstock is different). EDIT: Slighty off-topic, but you can also see some of their pricier basses, which to me are resemble blatant Warwick ripoffs. http://www.ebay.com/sch/Bass-/4713/i...713&Brand=Kona

My old Peavey's have 'em and from a distance it can look like there's a canyon to get to the adjustment nut.

Naw, many times such instruments are just props, unless the actors are actually using them! Think that's bad?  It appears that the mandolin next to the bass (barely visible) is also a Kona...check it! http://www.konaguitars.com/index.php...category_id=49

| | Registered User | | Join Date: Aug 2010 Location: Prescott, AZ & Hollywood, CA | | I decided to give one a try. KEJBBK. It was cheap enough and I wanted a beater. It arrived and I spent the morning setting it up. Plugged it in, not bad. It's a bright sounding bass for sure. I wired the pups in series and added .1 cap. Sounds pretty good, chunky. The neck feels like an intro level Ibanez Sound Gear. My headstock came natural wood, so I painted it and decided to flip the tuners and a black PG should be here soon. It is definitely a cheap bass, so take it for what it is.
I can't bring myself to put any more cash into it (for now), but perhaps a pickup and bridge upgrade will be in it's future.
