    Double Bass NBD… but no road trip :(

    A few weeks ago, I posted about a potential cross-country road trip to pick up a bass.

    For sale 1967 Kay S-1 Supreme

    This rare 1967 Kay S-1 is a whole lot of awesome and always gets looks of envy from bass players when I take it out. It has that classic, room-filling Kay low-end, is currently strung up with Zyex Mediums, and it sounds surprisingly detailed under the bow. This was Kay's top of the line bass...

    Double Bass NBD first DB - Kay M-1 1965

    Just picked up my first double bass... 1965 Kay M-1. It needs some TLC including new bridge and strings. I'm totally new to the DB, so I'm a little lost including what type of strings to get and how to set it up. A friend recommended Rotosound RS4000s with a little room in the action, but I...
