Anyone else play a Kinal?

I prefer Alder body wood.

I had an MK21 that was sweet, but the body was soooo big it wouldn't fit in my gig bag. The playability was great and the tone (Bartolini passive PJ) was incredible. My buddy's selling it locally for $1250. which is alot of bass for the dough.

Yeah. I had the same issue with the body size. They are BIG! My MK5 only fit in one gig bag out of many that I tried. Thankfully it forced me to buy the better gig bag (a nice Levy's), an investment that I've been thankful I've made many times over.

Did he switch to 3 piece necks as part of hist standard design?
When I bought mine a 5 piece was standard (pics of my neck in the link on the first post), which was down from a 7 piece that was part of the original design (the one reviewed by Bassplayer about 5 years ago). When I asked him about it he said that he got similar or better tone and equal stability with the 5 piece and it cut down on the pain in the ass factor significantly. I wonder if he's had similar results with the 3 piece.

I've lusted after this thing for a long time. I'd love to get one eventually. I might put a different pickup in it, though. Maybe a Nordstrand stack. Either way, I absolutely adore this bass (although I've recently started lusting after a CB Parallel bass too).

34.5" scale, Tobacco Burst over quilt maple/bubinga/alder. Mike suggested the Brazilian Rosewood board:

It's nice to look at but the answer is yes, I tend to play it a lot!
