Kay Speed Demon Bass Sunburst 1964

Kay Musical Instrument Company was one of the great American guitar builders, operating out of Chicago from the 1930s through the late 1960s. At their peak, they were the single largest guitar manufacturer in the United States — a factory that produced instruments for players at every level of music. The bass counterpart to their beloved Speed Demon guitar, this short-scale hollowbody was built for the working musician who needed something lightweight, resonant, and immediately playable. There is a warmth and charm to these Chicago-built basses that has kept them sought-after for decades, and once you pick one up it's easy to understand why.

This 1964 Speed Demon Bass feels wonderfully light and balanced — approachable, characterful, and immediately inspiring to play. In excellent condition for its vintage, and a genuinely rare piece of American musical history.
