'67 Japanese Kay Precision type...

[YARAH8]

What's a very playable black/sunburst '67 Kay P-bass clone worth nowadays?

Came to me with a PG that was too small, so i made a YARAH Customs Spalted MapleBurl for it... Extra neck~ just for good measure...

I recall seeing this instrument in JC Penney catalogs, but not until around 1970 or so, so the 1967 date startles me a bit. There was one here locally, decades ago, and it weighed a ton, right up in the Peavey T-40 Gibson Victory range. I would say $150 max, and that probably is being generous.

Well~ The fretboard is stamped 67-8-29, and the heel is stamped 67-9-1...

Oh, I am not disputing your dating, merely reflecting that I got blindsided by something dated that early. Chicago Kay still was a going concern in 1967, and that bass clearly is not Chicago product.
