Anyone know anything about these? I'm torn between finding a bass or a steel. Sigh, I'll get both eventually I know.

How about a fretless bass? :lol:
That Kay looks nice. They were made by Valco (I believe), the same company that produced Supro, Silvertone, Nationals, and as you can see it has the famous 'string-through' pickup that so many blues and rock players (including Ry Cooder) swears by.
If the pickup's a little dead due to demagnetizing you can get new magnets from Rick Aiello that's guaranteed to put the guitar on fire.... 8)
I love the shape of this one, it's obviously a knock-off of the National Dynamic, one of the all time classic lapsteels. If I were in the market for another lap steel I'd definitely kept a close eye on this one. Assuming everything is in good condition I wouldn't mind paying up to $400 for this Kay, but it may go for considerably less since "Kay" doesn't have the same ring to it as National and Supro..

I keep thinking I should get a set of drums too.
Thanks Steinar. That gives me some reference point.

It's got 4 steels with it, too. Those things aren't cheap.
