I know, I know "But, but...your name is Kenbass

About 16 years ago, I ordered a Custom Series II 4 string that I figured would be the last bass I ever bought. And for about 13 years it was all I ever needed for the music I was playing.
Then I hooked up with a guitarist and vocalist that pushed my boundaries, and several of the songs we were working on would benefit from the low B string.
So, to avoid spending a fortune on something I wasn't sure would work, I bought an Ibanez Premium Soundgear 5 string that I could at least get some of my money back on if things didn't work out. They worked out, I started writing several more songs using the lower register, but REALLY missed the Alembic filter sound and quality wood work so badly missing on the Ibanez.
I started mapping out a Balance K Series II, and looked at Bass Central's inventory, and THERE IT WAS, a beautiful Cocobolo Balance K Signature, in stock, no waiting, with figuring I would have picked out if I was building.
I asked if they could order me 3 position Q switches to replace the standard ones, and they said Susan would arrange to have them ship it to them, have them install them, and have me pick it up at the new (to me) factory. How could I say no???
So, here it is, in all it's (badly photographed) glory!
(Hmmm...preview doesn't show attachments, but they're all small enough to pass.)
