Kauer Daylighter Bass super sale!

[dougk]

Having a sale on the NAMM 2014 Daylighter Bass demo model. We have to pay the 2015 NAMM registration next week... so blowing a couple things out.

http://www.kauerguitars.com/sunset-limited/2013/4449-168-daylighter-bass-34-2013-model

While it was a demo model at NAMM, I'd say it's still virtually mint condition. Better than if it had been hanging in a guitar store for a month.

The Daylighter Bass, often requested and just started into production. This was 2013 model Daylighter Bass features a Klein Pickups P/J set, 34" scale, graphite reinforced, flamed Maple neck, Hipshot Tuners and Bridge and our 6 bolt neck joint. Looking for a killer take on the traditional P/J, this is for you.

Specs:

• Spanish Cedar body, Maple neck with graphite reinforcement and 6 bolt, recessed neck pocket
• Hipshot Bridge and Ultralite Tuners
• African Blackwood Fretboard, 34" scale
• Klein Pickups P/J combo with Tone / Blend / Volume
• .84"-.88" thick light C neck
• 8.6lbs

1750 + S/H this week only. Otherwise, it'll be the 2015 demo model

Thats pretty rad.

It's a killer sounding bass. If you combine mahogany and swamp ash, that's kind of what Spanish Cedar sounds like as a bass. Was killer. I'm hoping to sell this one so I can build a new demo one for NAMM.

 

[Mark Wein]

Have you sold many basses?

 

[PunkKitty]

That's awesome. And it's way above my budget. If you want to give me a $1200 discount I might be able to do it.

 

[baimun]

Doug... you should make a few 2-Tek basses.

 

[Chad]

Man, if I had the cash and it was a short scale, I would nab that.

 

[Kerouac]

WOW!

Not really. As soon as I built my first Daylighter I had people bugging me up and down for years about doing a Bass version. Soon as I do, they are no where to be found. Almost as bad as drummers... LOL

If people would order them I would in a heartbeat.

Chad, this could be reconfigured with a 32" scale neck. The 32" is actually my favorite, the original prototype is 32" and that's the only one I play. I'd be willing to do a 32" neck as an extra neck for cost of the hardware on it.

Can you do your basses the way you do your Arcturus line... so some of the pieces can mix and match?

30" Arcturus with Precision pickup.

Basically how we do it. The bridge is fixed but the neck can be 32 or 34" scale. I don't have the pickups on a universal PG though.

A MusicMan humbucker pickup and you've got it.

Seymour Duncan makes them.... with your choice of Alnico or Ceramic magnets.

typical f'ing bass players, all talk about what you'd rather have.

Though I did have someone say "oh I'd totally buy it if it had different knobs". I told them I could change the knobs. <silence>

no really, how much for a 30" scale one?

Would probably be full price. I drew a 30" scale but never programmed one.

I see you skipped right over my "if I had the cash" statement

If I wasn't trying to pay off some bills and save up for a down payment for a house, I would be ordering something from you. I am probably 2 years off from the house, so once it is bought or I win the lottery, you will be getting a call from me.
