tasteless epiphone elvis model guitar

1999-04-01 Thread kip martin

hey all

sorry to cross post/spam, but i have a request...

im looking for a somewhat bizarre epiphone acoustic they offered about 
3-4 years ago with all kinds of Elvis garbage on it? 

specifically, it was a black J-200-sized monster with white Elvis crap 
(the king in silhouette, the word ELVIS in big letters, etc) all over 
the front. it retailed for around $400.00.

i'd sure like to buy one--im feeling REALLY tasteless today. want to get 
rid of that embarrasing guitar in your closet? or does anyone have any 
ideas where i could find one?

kay bass 4 sale

1999-03-30 Thread kip martin

kay bass for sale...

this is a REALLY good one. its a very early 40s basic M-series model 
(ser.# 4327). recently restrung with thomastik spirocore weichs, and 
just rebuilt by chesapeake bass viol shop (david manbridge).
 
this bass plays great, is VERY loud, has a stronger than average bottom 
end, and tons of that characteristic kay percussiveness. it may look 
old, but its in excellent shape.
 
its very dark brown with pronounced flame and an easily removeable 50s 
era decal of a semi-naked woman with a python wrapped around her to hide 
those embarrasing features (hey, it came with the bass). the fingerboard 
is typical kay mystery wood and was dressed when it was rebuilt. 
original luson tuners. and it comes with a lightly padded gig bag. 

$2000.00 firm. 

its expensive because it is an exceptional bass w/ a bag and it DOESNT 
NEED ANY WORK. i can also provide references.

the bass can be seen in warrenton VA eves. for more info, call me or 
leave a message at 703.645.4421 (days), or at 540.349.2798 
(eves/wkends).

thanks

kip
