I think the K-162 style bass by Kay was one of the first (if not the first) guitar style bass guitar. The model names changed throughout the 1950's but the basic style of the bass stayed the same. If you look through the 50's Kay catalogs from 1953-1959 you'll see it pictured in all of them. It seems to disappear from the catalogs starting with the 1960 edition. sbStatistics: Posted by VintAxe — Fri Nov 24, 2006 5:07 pm
