So do we know where these are going to be made ??? ALSO i had an origonal Kay bass for a while and getting Flatwound strings ( i only like to play flatwounds) to fit is all most impossible ,,,i think i had to use 2 sets in the end and had to tune and E string to an A ,,,but when i did the sound had such a "push" to it , it was worth it.

How about some info on the new Harmony re-issue bass. I saw one for sale from Elderly Music. Have you tried one out? They remind me of the bass Muff Winwood used in the Spencer Davis Group many moons ago. These are really cool. How about some info on the new Harmony re-issue bass.

You can find some more info on these basses here: http://harmony.demont.net/model.php?id=110 Also, the company currently known as Harmony Guitars is making a series of H-22 reissues: http://harmonyguitars.com/ProductLine.asp?pl=vintage&pid=206D109E02F00FD1293DEEA8DF8E21172D4FFAD85229C461 Hope that helps!
