Edit description

Step back in time with the Kay K2-B, a vintage gem from the late 60s to early 70s era. This electric bass guitar is a testament to the craftsmanship of its time, offering a rich, old-school tone that resonates beautifully, especially when paired with flat wound strings. With its 30.5-inch scale length, this 4-string bass provides a comfortable playing experience for both seasoned musicians and enthusiastic newcomers.

Equipped with dual pickups and a 3-way selector switch, the Kay K2-B delivers versatile sound options, ranging from deep, warm tones to bright, punchy notes. The two volume and two tone controls allow you to fine-tune your sound, giving you control over your musical expression. Frets are in excellent condition, ensuring smooth playability.

Interesting Short Scale

A friend of mine was gifted this by a family member who was the original owner but it was put in the attic and forgotten about. When he discovered it the bridge was screwed and was in need a repair. He gave it to me as he had no want for it and after replacing the bridge and Straightening the neck, with a set of D'addarios on it it plays surprisingly well. I plug it in every so often for a more vintage feel. The leather coated humbuckers are a nice touch.

My first "serious" bass

I bought this for $300 in 1978 from a music store in Indiana. It had lots of tones and had a pretty solid sound. I played through a huge Sears Bass Head and a 2x16/2x12 cabinet.
