Kay Bass, SN 7723. Nickle Kluson tuners.
The O-100B is the blond model of the O_100 series. The bass is very playable. It has an unusually narrow neck profile that appears to be original. There are no cracks or splits. Fishman BP-100 pickups and a Pro-EQ preamp are included. I have never experienced feedback using these pickups, even in large halls at (way too) high volume. This bass is in good condition except for the following:
The previous owner stripped it and refinished with polyurethane. The front is bare wood.
There is a small patch on the bottom rear that was excellently done.
The end peg is not original.
The cover is in pieces because the piping came out.
I took this bass to a reputable violin repairman and had the neck separation fixed (Nancy Rohn, Corvallis, Oregon). I played this bass for years, but medical problems prevent me from playing uprights any longer due to shoulder limitations.
Location is Corvallis Oregon. Images upon request.
