A true rarity for a Kay, this bass has an original factory installed German made neck.

   I've never seen another documented, but Kay must have run short of seasoned neck blocks at some point in 1967 and this bass has a standard, non dovetail jointed (big plus!) German made neck with a bigger handle dimension and a higher overstand.

  Evidently, all this is not only great for ergonomics (better width and thickness higher overstand), but also is great for tone as this is a fabulous sounding Kay.

   Other recent improvements include an ULSA endpin, a carbon fiber neck reinforcement and an adjustable height bridge.
