Nice MK Deluxe 5 Custom in Japan
« on: December 02, 2024, 05:49:54 AM »
Nice one popped up.

Ikebe is another large dealer in Japan.  Very nice looking bass, I don't think I have seen a "wide" balance K with pistol grip horn.


As usual, not affiliated with the shop.

Looks like a balance point body. Or in this case a balance omega body.

well by my ciphering that's about $13k USD.  also they list the weight as 6.8 kg, i tink that's pretty close to 15 lbs.      still has a case. price is kinda steep imho but it is tricked out pretty nicely.  gotta be a tone monster, almost as many knobs as an SII.

i gig with  my MKD, it weighs in at a svelte 11.5 lbs and i can manage an hour dancing around with it before i hafta sit down.  this one outweighs my SII which i cannot play standing up for long.  that body shape helps i suppose but this ain't a bass for the faint of heart or weak of back (boomers beware!).  good luck to all!
Been down...now i'm out!
