Kay M-2 Army Model Upright Bass Fully Serviced 1939

No sales tax for customers outside California.

No shipping offered.  I can arrange delivery in Northern California, cost varies on location.  Also, we will be headed to the Dallas vintage guitar show the weekend of May 5th, 2025.  A van brings our inventory to the show and will travel from Chico, CA to the SF Bay Area, through Arizona to Dallas and back.  On the way back, the bass could make its way in the same van through Oregon to the Seattle area.  A drop off could be arranged on this trip.  Contact me if there is interest.

This Kay bass resided locally for decades before surfacing while I was out buying a couple old Martin guitars.

The neck joint and bridge clearly needed work, so I dropped it off at Davidson Strings here in Chico.  Ryan did a beautiful job!  

The neck was reset and reinforced, fretboard resurfaced, a new bridge was installed, the post was properly set, and tuners were lubricated.
