Lloyd C Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 [quote name='Rayman' post='600904' date='Sep 16 2009, 11:46 PM']Well, what an interesting evening. The band has sorted out it's problems, we had a blinding rehearsal tonight and really tore the place up. The Kinal was jaw dropping. For some reason it sounded, and played better than any bass I've ever heard tonight, it was absolutely blistering. We all had smiles on our faces for the first time in months. So, for that reason, I'm withdrawing it from sale. Thanks for all the interest.[/quote] Good news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clarky Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi Russ, I like a happy end to a story Bands are a total hassle but IMHO when you are all playing well together its a hell of a good feeling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayman Posted October 18, 2009 Author Share Posted October 18, 2009 Things have taken another turn in the last few days, so now I need something [i]old school[/i]. I've no cash, so a trade is my only option. I'm after a 70s Precision, a US Precision plus cash, or maybe a Stingray. Offers around a grand, there's no case, so I'd need to meet you somewhere if possible, I'd hate to post this wonderful bass. Possible new band on the horizon, and the Kinal doesn't quite fit the vibe, like I say, 4 string old school offers are welcomed, passive not active thanks.

GreeneKing Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 How good is this bass? Well it's solely responsible for turning me to 5 string basses. Given that it has to play stunningly well and sound special to achieve that need I say more. Oh it's beautiful too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In terms of trades, I'm thinking along the lines of: Precision, Jazz, Stingray. Obviously the Stingray is active, but passive basses would be favourite. Hit me with any offers of course. The Kinal is such a special instrument, if I could afford to I'd keep it, but needs must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted December 1, 2009 Author Share Posted December 1, 2009 (edited) An incoming xmas present in the form of a Fleabass has quelled my urge to sell the Kinal, so it's withdrawn. Edited December 2, 2009 by Rayman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhp Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 [quote name='Rayman' post='578274' date='Aug 23 2009, 03:51 PM']Possible new band, possible new direction, so I'd like a different bass. Bought from Eubassix only a handful of weeks ago, I fell in love with it. It's easliy the best quality bass I've ever owned, and here's what David had to say about it in his blurb: "Kinal MK-5: Mike Kinal (Canada) five string with a beautiful quilt maple top in an amber stain. Matching head stock (quilt/amber) with a very nice birds-eye maple cap to the rear. Alder body core. Ebony fingerboard on maple + five-piece neck with graphite reinforcement. 2 Aero jazz pickups with Bartolini preamp, 3EQ and 3-way midrange selector switch. Scale length is 35", 1&11/16" nut. String spacing is 9mm at the nut and 17mm at the bridge. Weight is 8 & 3/4 lbs. Great condition - the only significant 'ding' (no effect on playing) is a small (.5cm) to the side (only) of the ebony board, between frets 1 and 2 (below the G-string). This is one of the best constructed, 'all-purpose' basses I've ever played. Slaps well, is punchy for rock and can also produce more mellow tones" The Aeros are mounted in Ebony, and even the jack cover is wooden, it looks like rosewood to me. Super stunning, super high quality from an outstanding Canadian Luthier who is gaining a big reputation. I'm looking for around £1000 or tradewise a Stingray or a Modulus Flea?
