Are you alright? I am not sure you're thinking straight... this looks amazing!

Seriously, I wish I could take advantage of your lapse in judgement.

Good luck with the sale/trade!

:)

Yes he is!! I had some discussions with him & he was VERY patient & helpful with my barrage of questions lol
At this point I'm waiting for a replacement bridge that will give me the 19mm spacing I have gotten used to with my 55-02
Once done the status of this bass may change!!
Thanks

I have owned 4 or 5 Kinal’s , i still own one of his basses and i doubt i will ever sell it.
At the top of his gallery page the all Koa 5 SK 21 is my bass. I seen it on his work bench when he was building it. It’s a real beauty.
Mike lives about a 25 minute drive from me in Vancouver.

you have a great bass there as well, i have never tried a Korina bodied Kinal.
