NikNik Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 I've seen it all, now. How can that bridge/saddles possibly function? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hooky_lowdown Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 As a bass these old Kay's are total rubbish, the pickup is microphonic. However, run it into fuzz or overdrive and these are super fun to play, they suddenly come to life and work great in a garage rock band. Nothing else.

However it does have one good sound in it which none of my others can produce. Weirdly I always end up playing Seven Nation Army whenever I pick it up which is a hateful dirge at best!

Stub Mandrel Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 My first electric was the six string version, I still have it. I fitted a tune-o-matic bridge and got rid of the 'tremelo' and added various switches. As stated above, put it through ridiculous amounts of distortion and you get wails of feedback and a sound Neil Young would die for... The body is undersize, only 1" thick,and plywood. The tuners are three-to a plate acoustic ones. It's lovely to play too, with 008s on it 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
