Beneath It All Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) I bought this from Mart the Bass, in July - sadly,it weighs in at 9.5 pounds which seems to be one pound heavier than my back will cope with; Exactly as I bought it..Suberb instrument in all respects...You can find Mart the Bass original thread [june6], sure he won't mind..Price £570.

bottomfeed Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Where?....I can't find any original thread..... ??? I want to see it!
bottomfeed Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Ahh!.... here it is.... very nice too!.... [url="http://basschat.co.uk/index.php?showtopic=51060&st=0"]Sandberg Basic Ken Taylor[/url]
martthebass Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 Lovely bass this, missed it as soon as I sold it. It was easily as good as my old ray 5 but it took me a while to realize it. If I had any use for a fiver (and hadn't just turned the cash into an Overwater Perception Deluxe fretless) I think I'd buy it back.
bottomfeed Posted September 8, 2009 Posted September 8, 2009 hmmm.... at that price it's worth the drive up north to collect!..... if it was with a maple board, I wouldn't hesitate.... I'm having a basic 5 made with a maple board in greenburst [i](...ready early Nov)[/i] through Jam Guitars... but it's costing me a lot more... & one less pickup!.... hmmmm....

[/quote] Nice bit of rosewood on this one as I recall. They'd make a nice matching pair. I compared this KT5 with a basic 4 banger - the second pickup did bring in a lot more tonal options without causing me all the confusion that my old G&L L2.5K did.
