As I have moved from four strings to five strings over the last two years, it is time to offer my Mark King Standard 4 in Cocobolo for sale. It is truly an awesome instrument and is in 9.9/10 condition, but has gotten no playing time for the last two years. It needs to go to a good home where it will be played. The scale is 34. Serial # 01MJ12692. I purchased this bass several years ago from fellow Alembician Paul Schmidt. Here is the Showcase link which Paul provided: http://alembic.com/club/messages/411/3666.html?1109841528. I can provide pics upon request.

Please email me at hasadari@hotmail.com with any interest.

Thank you.

Bob Brown

By the way, the bass comes with a hard case in excellent condition. The bass has never been out of the house since I acquired it.

Hi Bob,

Hope all is well with you. Just a slight correction - the bass is 32, not 34. Wish it was coming back home to me, although I'm quite attached to my SC deluxe, not to mention my good ole' '85 Spoiler.

Its a great bass and difficult to let go. It should be owned by someone who will play it often. It just remeasured and you are correct - it is a 32 scale.

SOLD. Thank you everyone for the interest.

As the original owner of this bass, I think you'll be happy with it. When she arrives down under, pictures please...

Cheers Dave, Pas and Bob

Until Ben uploads some pics, here are two pics I took this week prior to shipment.

Cool pics!

I think the feature of these pics (aside from my awesome bass to be) is Bob\s grounds and gardens as the back drop...(notice how I said grounds as opposed to back yard)... thats some very nice land you have landscaped and groomed there Bob.
I hope to see some pics of your MK balance set against that backdrop...maybe with a sunset?? heh heh...
