"Kurt in the JSI bass shop did a spectacular job on my old Kay. This thing was an unplayable mess for years, collecting dust and taking up room. Kurt's restoration was artistic, timely, fairly priced, and the customer service was second to none. He replaced the fingerboard, bridge, nut, tailpiece, soundpost, and made miscellaneous other adjustments. Highly recommended! Thanks!" -Danny Blume |
