Ran across this on the double bass list. Thought some doghouse
players here might find it of some use.

Subject: Kay Bass Owners
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Some of you may be aware that Roger Stowers has done significant research
into the history of Kay basses, and last year published an article first
in
Bluegrass Unlimited magazine, and then on his web site at
http://www.midplains.net/~rstowers/#M
His two+ year project of collecting information on model and serial
numbers
of Kay basses continues, in anticipation of a follow up article with
details and descriptions of at least 21 model types as well as serial
numbers with correlations to the year produced.
Roger continues to seek owners of Kays, particularly those with original
paperwork or documentation that can further establish details of the
instruments and their production dates. If you have a Kay or are
interested
in their history, do visit his page at
http://www.midplains.net/~rstowers/#M and register your serial number
using
the form provided. If you have paperwork or an unusual example, I'm sure
he'd like to hear from you directly, at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I'm sure we will all look forward in anticipation of this interesting and
valuable information, and I hope that anyone can help his project and
subsequent article will contribute their data.
thanks,
Bob Gollihur
