Hello all ,

I decided to sell my Ken Smith , 

It is a quite rare BSR 5 with Ebony Top and Back , Tiger Maple center and Ebony Fretboard.

The actual model is BSR 5 PE.
Neck is 5 Piece , Tiger Maple , Maple and Purple Heart mix , i think.

18V Smith Preamp.

18mm String Spacing.

Original Hard Case and Strap.

For any questions etc. feel free to ask.

Thanks.

T.

I will add better photos later on.

I forgot that i still have this bass here , price dropped to £850.

i have a bit of Dog related money issues so this needs to go urgently

I put a photo of mine here , if you want to try it and get a true Smith experience , not for sale though

I am old enough to agree with you If a Smith is not all lighter wood down the middle etc, is it really a Smith?

Plus maple fret board ? come on

From the same company that produces Bacchus. Take it this is a passive bass? 

Yes it is a passive bass with Aguilar pickups and they sound great imo.

Bump!

None at Bass Direct?

 

Just checked - they've one in stock

To be honest , for me , that is not a proper Ken Smith bass.
For a Smith experience , one needs to try a BSR or BT. 

I just dont feel the same for the Burners or HF signatures

Oh my days, that is a very nice instrument! Very tempting.. 😚 and I don't have a 5 string yet and I have a fretless I hardly use... 🤔

Sounds like something about to happen there mate

I have my STR 5 on sale as well here , far better than the 3 mentioned on £950.

I just didn’t know we were allowed to promote/mention them here...

Sweet Mama , this looks great , i wish i had the money to spare , good luck with the sale !

2) MTD KZ5 (fitted with Aguilar Big Singles) - used, £700

By far MTD KZ 5  , it is a nice upgrade as well , nice pups you could get OBP-3 fitted too and you have a great bass.

My Bsr 5 PE

Ebony Top and Back ( which seems very rare )
