Title: Mark king series 2
Post by: roymus on January 04, 2010, 12:27:58 AM: Hi, I am wondering if there is anyone interested in wanting to swap me a Stanley Clarke for my Mark King. It is 5 years old,special inlay,coca bolo top and back,omega shape and I would say perfect condition. The reason for wanting to do this is I expect the stanley would be lighter in weight.
