Father's Day Special! $250 shipped CONUS!

I bought this bass with the intention of either modding it or using the neck for a medium scale build, but my plans have changed and I no longer need it. Except for some curious blemishes on the lower edge (they still have clear finish over them?), the bass is in great shape with no issues. I...

I bought this neck for a medium scale project build that has changed course and I no longer need it. It looks to be in great shape. Tuners and hardware pictured included. $125 including shipping within the CONUS. Thanks for looking!

Sold pending payment!

If you end up with another one of these, I highly recommend upgrading the pickups to Novak H-22's! I think this bass and these pickups were meant for each other :-)

This is a great, unique and rare bass that I've upgraded with Curtis Novak pickups, higher quality passive controls and Labella Olinto flat wound strings. I'm selling it only as I've been reminded, once again, that I'm still an old school 4 string player. I low key searched for this bass for a...

Yep, long since sold.

Thanks! I've always considered this bass a "lovable mutt". It has a solid top, which I think yields a better and more unique sound and responsiveness compared to all ply Kay basses I've played, but the finish is rather plain and perhaps poor. And the fingerboard appears to be rosewood and not...

Sure, here's a small variety of pics, the first of which is a welcome to my "Kay Corner" and the last of which is the "money shot" ;-). You can see a cleat repair of one of the f-holes, and various wear on the corners and edges that show the top, for better or worse... It's been and continues...

Yep, my Kay has a solid top. No, I didn't have it done. It came to me this way and appears to have been done long ago. I wish I knew the story, but I don't :-(

Eli and Stefani, you were both right and I was wrong. Andy confirmed what you both already knew, that they are "just" Spiro Mittels. Thanks! I do love them, will leave them, and won't bother to clean them ;-) But now, if ever asked again, I can answer. Looking back, I think I had avoided...

Thanks Eli! I don’t think so as I can’t recall ever having bought Spiro’s, but I could be wrong! Perhaps I should check with Andy at the Bass Cellar and see if he surprised me when he last serviced my old Kay? Hmmm…

I’ve had the same and only bass for 20 plus years. I don’t change my strings often, so you’d think I’d remember what I have it strung with. But I don’t :-( All strings are wrapped in red and have what look like ball ends. The strings are fairly low tension, tho not as low tension as Obligato’s...
