Thinking of Selling
« on: January 25, 2011, 06:18:54 PM »
Hi guys remember me?! LOL  
It's been an unusual last couple years for me.
 
Looks like I may be selling a couple of my MK basses. Both are 5 string but totally different. You can see them here.
2005 MK Quilted Maple $4000
 1998 MK Burl Maple $3500
 
Both basses now have THG custom knobs.
 
I just don't play them any more, I stick almost entirely to my Custom Series II and my Spalted Maple MK.  
The Burl maple is a 35 scale and has the best low B I've ever heard (even better than my S-2 5 string).  
The Quilted maple I purchased new from Beaver Felton at Bass Central. This one has LEDs on the top of the fret board.  
 
Anyone interested I can send current pix to just shoot me an email.
 
Thanks,
OO
 
PS. I've also toyed with selling This Series II but am not 100% sure about that yet. Will entertain any offers though.

Mike-EEE, howdy stranger! Yea I play the 3/4 bodys the most, especially that one with fancy Sunday go to meeting neck! LOL.
 
I hadn't even picked up the 2 MK 5's in at least 6 months. I just hate to see them set there and go to waste.
 
OO
 
Thanks Art, I MISS YOU GUYS! LOL

Yup, that's some expensive paneling. Making me think that I need to play the fretless this Sunday. Sure way to make the sound guy's eyes cross.
 
To anyone that's looking, Olie takes great care with his gear. The MK5 is in pristine condition.

Everything is good.  Each day continues to be quite fascinating.  And I'm still learning how to play a six string bass.  Hope everything is good with you as well.
