Title: (x) history request 92 Essence 92K7274 USA

I call her my "midlife crisis bass" and I acquired her in late 2015. I think I'm the second owner, not counting the dealer who sold her to me, but would love to know more.

Here's the details from the instrument file:

serial number: 92K7274
model name: Essence
model number: KLB4
top: Flame Maple
accent: Walnut pinstripe
body: Maple
finish: Transparent emerald green
neck: 3-piece Maple
scale: 34" long
fingerboard: Ebony
inlays: none
pickups: Alembic MXY4
controls: "Essence" volume, pan, filter, mono output
originally made for: Quigley Music, MO

I think you might be #3. The original owner didn't register, and the second owner registered in 2014 from Oklahoma.

Yes it is! And it looks like someone stepped on the cord and cracked that pretty top. The big brass washer is a good way to fix that.
