1989 KSB...What Model Is It?

[Tim MacCabe]

Yeah, its all original. It was more or less given to me ($500) by the first owner. He was my "bass mentor," a.k.a the guy who turned me on, and I had sort of salivated over it for six years until he finally broke down and gave it to me. Thanks for the ID. The volume is a passive/active switch if that matters as to which model it is...

Yes, of course: Forgot to note the passive/active on the Volume Control. Doesn't matter: It doesn't define the model.

Wow! What a deal!

BT 4-string I think. Maybe the basic model then with 3-pc neck. I don't know if we Graphite in them either, maybe not. The body looks like solid Koa. We made a bunch of these in Koa, Walnut and Maple from what I remember. This one is 1989.

Thanks to both of you for your input! Its been a nagging question that I've just never bothered to investigate until now. This forum is a great resource for us more technically challenged folks. And yes Tim, $500 is giving it away as far as I'm concerned. I think my friend Terry just wanted to see me get my first REALLY NICE bass. Again, thanks!
