Thanks.

I need new machines on my Kay. I saw that Shen installs individual Suzhou on their basses, and I saw all sorts of references to Suzhou on the forum here. I figured they were probably good enough for the Kay. But, I can’t seem to find anywhere on the internet that supplies these (or even that...

Richard Faubel. Amplified Electronics. Sadly, he passed away last month.

Yes, mine. Five or six years ago I found it hanging in the wall of Canada’s version of local big box music store. Someone had brought it in on trade. I’ve never found any info on these models other than the serial dates it to 85/86.
