Kalamazoo Bass
« on: October 14, 2011, 01:20:12 PM »
buyer beware as seller is in Mexico but seems like a good deal at 200 just for the pickup by itself...

I wouldn't be worried about the seller, it's just not worth the opening bid. It's a refin and $285 shipped for a refin is too much. IMHO $250 is about tops for an all original Kalamazoo.

OTOH if you crave a body made from wood chips and urea formaldehyde glue, go for it.

$125-150 is top range for a pickup.

Even a Freemasoner would hardly describe this as a case of free masonite.

Seller is wrong - that bridge is not original. So that makes it worth even less. 

Good for the pup, but I think if you pay close to $300 (or even $200) for a mudbucker you have rocks in your head.

Because it is too wide?

Because it's aftermarket or from a Japanese copy.

Looked weird but I wasn't sure about the camera angle.
