any upright bass'ers need a vintage 51' kay bass?

This is a $3000 vintage 51' kay double bass and I cant even find a bidder
at $1250?? this economy sucks, and the mortgage is due... if you know of anyone lookin for the real deal send em' here:

My bass player would be interested...unfortunatley I'm in Canada.

Man, if I could find anyone interested in playing one of those around here, let alone buying that one.....

Well some of the strangest things happen.... my wife has been eye'n that bass since I've been trying to move it... she finally told me she wants it and started practicing like a madman to some online lessons last night, fooled around with it all today and when the
auction closed with no buyers she said "its mine" and by 10 oclock tonight she had a basic
1-4-5 tic tac bass line down... (whew now I dont have to get the family a Dog..)


ps. she's still gonna be bass=less if I can get $2K for it.

You should get the 4th sting for her...she'll likely get better that way

no way, thats about $35 worth of guitar picks!

all this makes me so sad. I bought a 30's (dont know the exact year. sometime around then) Kay for 400 in High School and had to sell it this summer for tuition. made a couple grand on it almost. but aw man it was so hard to do.

quite an amazing instrument but I like cash better than a giant 6ft monster taking up room
in the bedroom. If I want a 6 ft monster, Adriana Lima is a good replacement.. mwhahaah

Would the Mrs. wanna trade that bass for a '65 Tremolux???

I'll throw in $35 worth of picks!

oh the profit I made sure made up for the then slight pain of losing the bass
