What is the history of this bass? artswork99 Moderator Username: artswork99 Post Number: 1916 Registered: 7-2007 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 10:38 am:    Looks like one too many digits in the serial number posted in the thread title. Viewing the time frame of previous listings in the showcase the 13000 sounds about right - an MK would possibly have an engraved brass plate (if not continuous wood) and inside the main component electronics cavity it will be stamped along the lip. Please check the number and I will gladly correct the title once posted to the thread. timallen New Username: timallen Post Number: 5 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 10:55 am:    The number stamped inside the electronics cavity is the same as the one on the brass plate, it is: 04MK13270. timallen New Username: timallen Post Number: 6 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 10:59 am:    I made a typo when I originally posted. adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3062 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 11:09 am:    Typo fixed! timallen New Username: timallen Post Number: 7 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 4:25 pm:    I'm looking forward to getting a description ... adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3063 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 4:43 pm:    It may take a while before the lookup materializes, so why not post a picture? We love to take educated guesses at the build details. timallen New Username: timallen Post Number: 8 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Friday, November 01, 2013 - 6:01 pm:    adriaan Moderator Username: adriaan Post Number: 3064 Registered: 6-2002 Posted on Saturday, November 02, 2013 - 2:34 am:    Utterly scrumptious! Other than that, it must be a 35 or 36" scale Balance K Omega Signature, most probably a Deluxe, dressed up in absolutely fabulous Quilted Maple. Would love to see some detail shots. timallen New Username: timallen Post Number: 9 Registered: 11-2011 Posted on Sunday, November 03, 2013 - 4:02 pm:    It's a 34' scale, I can email you more pictures if you'd like. What I'm really looking for is a history and description of it because I'm going to sell it. bassman8416 Member Username: bassman8416 Post Number: 66 Registered: 5-2012 Posted on Saturday, December 21, 2013 - 11:42 am:    Hi Mica, this is the bass that I purchased from Tim Allen.
