Maude Posted February 21, 2022 Share Posted February 21, 2022 If you've seen my posts on here you may know I'm a bit wierd, in that I like a Kay bass, and I've spent far too much time restoring a couple. But, £295 for a plywood Kay. 😂😂😂 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kay-K-1B-bass-/165316929580?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Normal Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I remember when all my school friends had a rickety Kay, Eko or Satellite guitar or bass chucked in the corner of the room, probably bought from a catalogue by their parents. Never stayed in tune, had a massive action and sounded awful even when new, but were OK for thrashing some Stiff Little Fingers or Sex Pistols out on (usually through a nasty JHS or HH amp). Dreadful things. When the first Japanese Squiers and Tokais came along it was a game changer for us kids then, as they were actually affordable playable instruments in the days when owning a real Fender or Gibson was a pipe dream for most people! I wouldn't pay £30 for a Kay, let alone £300, but I guess they have some interesting zeitgeist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRedX Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 It would have been less than a tenth of that price new back in the 70s and even then you were being robbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
