PaulKing Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) [b]** EDIT: THIS BASS NOW UNDER PROVISIONAL OFFER - ENQUIRIES STILL WELCOME **[/b] I can't keep all my basses. I'm never selling my B+H, and now I've fallen in love with a '38 M-2 ... and so, one of the most spectacular examples of vintage American plywood in Europe (the world..?), is on the market. It's just too nice not to play... - No damage, original neck and tuners intact. - Original nitrocellulose finish, almost pristine except for typical surface cracking as seen on many similar basses. - Beautiful flamed ribs and back. - Brand new ebony fingerboard (widened slightly to give standard spacing at nut), brand new Despiau bridge, cut for Underwood pick up (not included). Set up by luthier Adrian Warrick. - Set up for plain gut strings (currently strung with Lenzner E/A, Labella D/G at 11, 10, 10, 9 mm - not included in asking price) - Serial #55292 This is not a beginner's bass. To a discerning buyer, who knows what they're getting: [b]£2600 (2,850EUR) ono[/b] Slideshow [url="http://img193.imageshack.us/slideshow/webplayer.php?id=dsc1429u.jpg"]here[/url] Clean, pure, controlled, powerful sound, no buzzes ... ah, it's impossible to describe sound I know ... listen for yourself [url="http://www.myspace.com/bigalandthefireflys"]here[/url] (acoustic, into cheap vocal mic .. probably a bit close, sorry). Plays beautifully ... it's in West London, if you want to try it. Edited October 1, 2009 by PaulKing
teej Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Ooh... I'd love to come and waste your time trying it, but I haven't the funds to take it off your hands right now. Glad to hear you say you'd never sell the B&H - I love mine to bits.
Plux_the_Duck Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 omg, I have fallen in love with this!!!
johnny Depper Posted August 30, 2011 Posted August 30, 2011 I may have already asked - did this Bass sell - or still for sale? Best wishes

Best wishes[/quote] Ah, this beauty went a long time ago, over to Holland... Of course I regret it, but several other beauties have taken its place. You can't have 2 Kays really. I still think this is probably one of the best Kays in the world, I sold it way too cheap... only £2400....
