As for that Kay...it seems to have water damage. There's a crack down the middle of the back, cracks on either side of the saddle, a screw has been put in place through the base of the neck. It's very dried out and you can separate the layers in the f-holes. I spent money on strings, bridge, saddle and tailpiece cable but after all the parts arrive I feared that putting the new strings on might collapse the front. So it's been sitting. I believe that it could be a great sounding bass just from plucking the strings it came with (cat gut).
Pictures will follow tomorrow. Thank you again.

String length is the vibrating string. Nut to bridge. And, it's not cat cut. There are no cats big enough unless you mean tigers and lions. It is sheep gut.. lol
