"Hi, my name is Kennan, and I'm a hoarder."

You found my Garage Sale! Check these out; maybe there's something here for you. And remember to check back from time to time. You never know when something new will get added.

Feel free to make me an offer, none of these prices are carved in stone! Let's keep these local; no out-of-country cashier's check "oh my cousin is the imprisoned King of Scammaland" deals. You know; play nice.

60's Wurlitzer Electric Piano, $650

"What'd I Say?" I said you be the baddest on your block with this fine old Electric Piano!

It's got a built in tube amp, and can be played alone through it's own little speaker, or plugged into an amp. I don't have the sustain pedal, though!

The legs come off and the whole thing becomes a big heavy box. That's 60's style 'portability', for when you want to "Hit the Road, Jack!"

70's Shure Vocalmaster P.A. Head! $250!

'Tube-ey or not Tube-ey'? Tube's, of course! 100 watts of tube goodness straight from the Classic Rock days. Built in Reverb!

The case is kinda beat up, but the little monster still works! I remember renting these with the columns for gigs back in the day!

While I've got you here, I'm also selling a pair of these Yamaha 15 PA cabs. One's good, one's not so good. Speaker is funky. $150 for both.

Olympia Fretless Acoustic Bass $300

Chinese made Tacoma, bought with a broken headstock and missing frets. Nursed back to health, budget upright tone!

Big body, built in electronics, and sporting light tension Thomastic Infeld Jazz Flat strings. Smokes other ABG's at twice the price!

Detail shot of the glue job. I'm not a luthier, but the rest of this doggie will blow up before this joint let's go. Check out the Hipshot Extender Key!

All trade offers considered! Drop me a line!

Coming Soon! Kennan Shaw's Road Tested Blues Bass Book!
Watch this space for details.

Welcome to the Grand Opening of my Store!

Crass commercial...I mean 'Just in time for Christmas!'

Thanks to the fine people (I assume there are people) over at Cafe Press, I'm now offering a variety of goodies with my personal designs for sale to you; the general public! Each design is by me personally, and features a subltle, clip-art free, rough set type slogan for the bassist, or bassist-at-heart. My web address appears small and subtle on each design, to feign as much humility as a guy selling shirts with his name on them can muster. There's sure to be something for everyone!

Let's take a look at the designs;
"Keep Your Friends Close, and Your Drummer Closer". The bass/drums relationship is a lot like "The Parent Trap"; when twins seperated at birth meet up, and work together, people fall in love. It's a proven fact. Notice how the message won't get obscured by a bass strap!












"I Didn't Pack Light So I Could Carry Your Junk". This is the 'cleaned up' version of the Tour Shirt I always wanted! It works wonders on band mates, but it can also be a perfect 'family vacation' shirt. Field trips, ballgames, illegal border crossings, castle storming...anywhere you feel the need to set a precedent. Also applies to Emotional Baggage.


Reproduction of an older Business Card. Wear your Fretless Preference proudly! Just because others are locked into that old, 'stay on the rails don't color outside the lines' mindset, let them know that even if you are a non conformist, they have nothing to worry about. From you, at least. Probably.

So ther you go. Check back once and a while to see what's new and different. I'll be promoting the crap out of this stuff. Let me know if you have a special request, or an idea for something else. GO BUY NOW!
