Carol Kaye's Bass Guitars
Carol Kaye's official site states that she uses an Ibanez SRX 700.
Taken from her website:
CAROL'S GEAR: Ibanez SRX700 Bass, Thomastik-Infeld Jazz Flats strings, GK MB150S-iii Amp, Ibanez RG321 with Seymour Duncan Humbucker Jazz Pickup Alnico Pro II, with Thom. George Benson Elec. Jazz Guitar Flat strings etc., TI Benson Flats Strings for Jazz playing.
She is also pictured with this very bass on the first page at the very top of her website
"I’d been a Fender endorser since the late ’60s, but went to a Gibson Ripper bass when I stepped out to play live jazz again with Hampton Hawes in ’74. At first I was impressed with the Ripper’s easy neck and its sounds. Gibson took some publicity shots, and I was going to be their endorser, but they simply couldn’t get the bass to have the punchiness I liked. They also tried with the Grabber, but I kept changing my mind as to where to put the pickup, hence that bass came out with a sliding pickup. I finally just gave up and went back to Fender."
At the bottom of this page of Carol Kaye's official site, it states that she used a Fender Precision Bass.
Carol Kaye is seen playing the Music Man Stingray bass in a photo hosted by Music-man, and she also uses this bass for performances such as "El Concierto de Aranjuez."
