| Neck | Maple neck with unbound rosewood fingerboard. Bolt-on construction with adjustable truss rod. 30″ scale length, 1 7/16″ nut width.Originally this bass had no position markers, but white dots (drops of paint) have been added to the bass side. |

| Hardware/electronics | One Kay single-coil pickup with a metal cover providing decent shielding; volume and tone controls. Sealed tuners. Tortoise-plastic control plate with the Kay/music stand logo engraved; at one time this would have had paint in it, as the trussrod cover logo still does, but it has worn off over the years. |

| CaseCase not included. | |
| Comments | Kay instruments were built under the Kay name from 1931; previously, the company had been Groehsl and then Stromberg-Voisinet. This instrument was built around 1962; it’s in good condition, it plays very well and has a quite good tone. |
