The KSD Story

This is my first post and I am happy that I found your forum.

This was a request from the Brooklyn Gear team during the early design stages. They thought it would be good marketing perception to make it 35". I agreed to let it fly as it was their Bass and not mine. We still have a 34" scale KSD with 9-18mm spacing on the drawing board for down the road sometime. The final decision is that of Brooklyn Gear and not mine. I can only suggest, not demand.

Thanks for posting and welcome to the Forum.
