Greetings,
This is the 2nd Kinal I acquired on this fine forum. Mike Kinal makes some exceptional guitars and this one is no exception although I just haven't connected with this one like I did with my first one!
These instruments have a strong following here on TB for good reason!
This bass is in exceptional shape considering it's a vintage being like 21+ years old, no dings dents or gouges anywhere!!
Just some minor "swirls" on the face & back that won't photograph very well.
Truss rod works as it should, frets are near mint with no buzzes or dead spots anywhere!!
I'd give it a 9 out of 10 easily!
This pre which is a collaboration between Bill & Mike is by far the most flexible, best sounding ever! The EQ bypass switch allows you to dial in whatever sound you want then go back to detent settings by just a flick of the toggle (very effective/useful for slapping and more aggressive techniques!!)
I'm mainly looking for a cash sale as I'm recovering from spinal surgery & need to satisfy some hefty co pays! Trades are always a consideration with $$$ coming my way
(no 4 bangers, Just 5 & 6ers )
LMK what you got as I'm always curious!
Anyways here is the bass for your consideration
View attachment 6745661
The one Black string was intentional as I was experimenting with different DR Coated Strings That Day!
SPECS:
Flamed Maple top on 2PC Alder body
5 pcs maple neck with Pau Ferro stringers and fingerboard
(THE Most highly figured slab of PF I've ever seen on a bass! Pics do it no justice!)
Bartolini MM/J pups and Custom 18 v pre which was a collaboration between Bill Bartolini & Mike Kinal
3 band EQ: V P B M T with push/pull V Pot for active/passive
Toggles:
EQ Bybass switch
Mids selector switch,
Series/parallel switch for
bridge PU
Hipshot A Chrome on brass bridge
Ultralite tuners
35" Scale
1 7/8" Nut
9 Pounds 11 Ounces
(on my digital scale)
19mm String Spacing
(can be adjusted for 18)
HSC
Update:
11/24
I have installed a Bart b-axis pickup in the neck position just to see what all the rave was about & it's AWESOME
No mods necessary as it dropped right in although the original will be included so it can be put back if so desired!
Also have a fresh setup with new Ernie Ball long scale strings that go through body!
Please Note:
Price is negotiable although shipping is not included in the final price therefore buyer can choose whatever courier they want!
Please note that I'm only looking to deal with those with good TB History/Feedback!
Thanks for Stopping By
