Title: F/S Mark King Sig Deluxe 5 Koa 1989.....for medium scale S1
Post by: johnnybottom on July 23, 2024, 11:56:56 AM

Hi folks,
  Time for me to down size a tad. Ive owned this bass since the late 90s. Stunning in looks and sound.  10.5 lbs, will reconfirm.
  Koa top and back. String spacing about 15mm.  A couple of dings. 1 of the Omegas points has been reattached.  Its an odd duck, in that it is a MK bass 34 scale, but has a SC Serial #. I sent Alembic many photos years ago to confirm.  Flame koa top, flame koa back, maple purple heart 7 piece neck, Ebony fingerboard, crown peghead, axy pickups, signature electronics, from replacement value sheet in reply #3. Original case included. First time posting here, hope I didnt leave anything out.  Been a positive talkbass user forever, 88/0/0 feedback score.  Im in Northern NJ for in person. Very motivated fora local sale.   Asking... $9000  shipping can be worked out. 
Thanks
 JC

interesting.  an MKDeluxe with a cone head.  and made outta koa.  how often do ya see that? my MKD weighs in at 11 1/2 Lbs US.  is yours chambered?

good luck with your sale sir.  some more detail might be helpful - HSC? price?  one of the omega points on mine fell victim to a cheap GC rack.  never again!
