elsharko Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Looking for a more traditional 5 string J bass for my Kinal. This is a beautiful bass with a gorgeous finish. Im looking to trade for 35" scale J-style 5 strings like US Laklands, Sandberg Cali Supreme JM5, Goodfellows Spitfire etc Sale dropped to 1400 GBP ono I cant upload pics atm but I will as soon as i can, in the meantime you can see a video of me playing it here [url="http://www.starnow.co.uk/RichardMurray/video/103270/"]http://www.starnow.co.uk/RichardMurray/video/103270/[/url] [url="http://www.starnow.co.uk/RichardMurray/video/108732/"]http://www.starnow.co.uk/RichardMurray/video/108732/[/url] and theres a couple of pics kicking around there too. Here are a few words from the website and original owner: Kinal 5 string bass, MK-5 (M72) Gorgeous Mike Kinal (Canada) bass for sale. It's a five string with a beautiful quilt maple top in an amber stain. Matching head stock (quilt/amber) with a very nice birds-eye maple cap to the rear. Alder body with a lovely quilt-maple top. Ebony fingerboard on maple + five-piece neck with graphite reinforcement. 2 Aero jazz pickups with Bartolini preamp, 3EQ and 3-way midrange selector switch. The scale length is 35" (for a better 'B'), with a 1 and 11/16" nut. String spacing is 9mm at the nut and 17mm at the bridge. Weight is 8 & 3/4 lbs. Great condition - the only significant 'ding' (which has no effect on playing, and is hard to see) is a small (0.5cm) one to the side (only) of the ebony board, between frets 1 and 2 (below the G-string). This is one of the best constructed, 'all-purpose' basses I've ever played. Slaps well, is punchy for rock and can also produce more mellow tones It comes with a high-quality gig-bag and the unique, wooden tuning peg winder (this one in a matching quilt maple!) as supplied with all Kinal basses. Here's a link and some words from the Kinal website, from which this (uograde) bass can be compared to the standard Kinal MK-5 Kinal custom basses have graphite-reinforced necks, attached with six bolts for extra strength and better sustain. The fretted and fretless fingerboards are made from rosewood, ebony, maple, or pau ferro. Pickups come from Lindy Fralin, Bartolini, EMG, Basslines, and other makers, with 9- or 18-volt active electronics available. Scale length can be 34", 34.5", or 35". The necks and bodies are ergonomically sculptured to allow comfortable access to the extended scale. These instruments also balance extremely well and are lightweight for long playing periods.
