Might want to check out the Drozd Oracle's if you want those kind of specs. I am floored with my Oracle 6 33, the low B is even better than my old Ken Lawrence which I thought was impossible to do.
Man I wish I had a Fodera 6 string to trade you, might have to go looking for one. If this KL is anything like mine it makes the 40 plus Fodera's I've owned sound silly and look cheap, but that is just my opinion.
How old is this bass? I didn't know he did Marcus tributes with only three knobs and jack on the front of the bass as opposed to four knob and jack on the side.
The perfect travel or piccolo bass. Plays like butter. With a six string on the way I think I got the high range covered. Fits in the overhead compartment of a plane no problem.
NOTE: This price includes a $400 custom leather case hand-made by Glen Cronkrite! and it is awesome!

How are the Smith's, compared to Ken Lawrence?

Different animals, like comparing a J bass to a P bass.
I'm not sure if you know the history on this bass, but I believe this might of been mine about 10 years ago, it was amazing. Having owned to many Smith's, new and old, I can honestly say these are my favorite, the two band pre kills.
