Title: 2024 MK Deluxe 4str Buckeye
Post by: tkotmk42 on October 16, 2025, 11:53:50 AM
Brian at the LowEnd has a very very very nice MK Deluxe 4 stringer with buckeye top/back, and pretty good pile of custom options.

Priced very 'realistically' IMHO. 
And the usual: not affiliated, just a good friend of mine and I've known him since my college days  ;D

Takeo

If you are going to list an instrument for a totally unrealistic price the least you can do is provide well shot and clear photos...  would be extremely surprised if they ever sell this, it is almost like they aren't even trying.

looks like the 4 string version of my pretty bass.  kinda be curious as to what they were asking for it.  bought mine new in '19.  new price has almost doubled since then. i highly recommend these basses btw, put some rotosound rounds on it and it cuts like chainsaw thru the mix.

My apologies for my earlier post it didn’t pertain to this bass.  I thought this referred to the Buckeye Burl MK on Reverb, the pictures are truly awful and the asking price is $22,500. Hope someone got a good deal on the four-string, the MK basses are definitely nice.

Yup.  Pretty shoddy listing….blurred photos, calling a 5-string Bass a 6-guitar, and one photo in the batch isn’t even the bass in question!  Asking serious $$$$$ for a questionable instrument.
