Location: Steeler Nation, Hudson Valley Contingent | I know zip about basses. but the weirdest thing happened today.
I was taking a few pics of a couple of my O's at the entrance to my neighborhood, as the scenery was matchless this morning. (See Brad? I think ahead sometimes.) And a passing car stopped and asked if I was familiar with guitars.
I said somewhat. He asked if I knew anything about this, and proceeded to open his trunk. He was an elderly gentleman and says he's had the thing for years. He doesn't want to sell it, he would just like to learn about what he owns.
I freely admit that I know zip about basses, so if anyone know a little about these, I'd love to pass it on to my neighbor. The model was a Kustom K200 electric bass, serial number 2807. It's in fair to good condition.
Only a couple of the pics came out clear I'm afraid. Sorry about that.

Location: The Great Pacific Northwest | "Kustom offered a fine Bass Guitar that was a short scale bass with a slim "fast" neck.
Kustom described the pickups as "Ultra magnetic professional pickups". The K200D shared the same body as the other K200 guitar models and sports a rosewood fingerboard. When new, these models sold for $245.00 which was quite pricey for 1967. Kustom offered the bass in Red, Blue, Black and Sunburst. "
