1979 Lefty Konversion!

Post by LefThanDed »

Summer of ’79…
Found pic of my long lost Kay Konversion from righty EBO to lefty “Explorer”
As I recall this involved a decent slab of ashe, jigsaw, router, spray paint, and a clothesline.
(Patience and quality control were not factors in this project)
Good Times!

"Still trying to find some wine-tasting-style way to describe the almost-Jaco tone the bass player had going on."

My first bass was a Kay "EB-O", just like that one.
