Kay Vintage Reissue K162VHS Pro - Honey Sunburst - Electronic Bass Guitar With Matching Hard Shell Case
After 15 years of producing award winning professional electric guitars and basses and the Barney Kessel Signature line, we will end manufacturing the limited edition Kay Vintage Reissue Production
March 31, 2022 will be the final licensed production of the 1950s Kay Vintage Reissues.
There were only 1,625 instruments produced imported and USA produced each serialized with certificates of authentication.
Kay Vintage Reissue, LLC has officially ceased the reissue manufacturing due to continually rising material and labor cost, longer manufacturing production time, shortage of skilled craftsmen builders and limited production of Kay Vintage Reissue parts and materials.
The Kay Vintage Reissue limited production was highly successful and won many awards, excellent music magazine reviews and 5 Star ratings form users and players internationally.
About the K162V Pro Bass:
The K162VHS Kay Pro Electronic Bass Guitar is a reissue of the classic K162, has the volume and bite of an electric bass guitar, but when plucked softly, sounds like an upright bass.

Solo and rhythm effects are unlimited. Get that unique Chicago-style jazzy blues sound from the semi-hollowbody chamber design and single-coil blade pickup.
A special dual-capacitor switch kicks the Pro Bass into overdrive. It cuts the high range and adds punch and the deep tone of a standup bass.
Includes hardshell case.
