I think thats a fantastic looking bass, i particularly like the way the top horn in carved in, all the benefits of a singlecut but not as clumsy looking IMO, it reminds me of the nordstrand NX series!! this bass is a jazzers delight never been oe for six string basses but theres been a few on sale of late, that have got me thinking, if i had the cash etc etc blah blah!!!! bump for a gorgeous looking bass!!!

Just great ive always fancied one of these, great colour too!!! id say your price is fine mate as these dont come up often, id be curious to know if the JJ setting actualy sounds like a jazz bass as the spacing is a it diffrent, the P is in the same place though, a great idea, and id prefer it too the original which is a short scale!! does it have the through body stringing?

Seriously nice smith!! love it, gutted im having to get rid of mine!!!

I will have one of these one day just amazing!!!

Hi everybody It is with a very heavy heart that i do this, but as my finances are getting beyond my control im forced to part with my beautiful Ken Smith BSR5 mw, ive been holding back from selling this for a while as whenever i gig this bass im grinning from ear to ear!! It is bolt on constuction and features a very nice flamed maple centre core with a black walnut top and back with mahogany (i think) stringers in the body, also has a morado fingerboard( a harder form of rosewood which has a brighter sound generally) this model has the old style 9 volt 3 band preamp and smith humbuckers, string spacing is a very comfy 18mm and has the slimmest neck and lowest action of any 5 ive ever played. The sound is very precise and focused, with a modern but very warm tone and a sweet treble response which makes for a great slap sound. Conditionwise it is pretty much mint, it has one small ding on the bottom of the body and i tiny bit of buckle rash on the back. It comes with the smith branded hardcase ( disclaimer- one of the catches was damaged in transit to me, but it still closes fine)I will be wanting a very firm £1600 for it, i would prefer pick up only due to the expensive nature of the bass(best to try if shelling out that kind of cash), but will post at buyers expense if really neccesary, really sorry but no international sales please. I will be in the market for a replacement 5 string and cash my way- i would be interested in Musicman stingrays (pref maple fingerboard) Warwicks- BO or NT Streamers overwater perception spector euro sadowsky metro [attachment=62927:P1010011.JPG][attachment=62928:P1010006.JPG][attachment=62926:Ken_smit...tobuck [url="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1167511&l=cbb8f4846b&id=1042572374"]http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=1167...p;id=1042572374[/url] link to more pics further down the thread!

Thought this would sell, i had one of these many years ago, i was my fir and it wss my 1st foray in the 5 string world, i loved it and not long after upgraded to the nathan east model, great to have if a 5 isnt your thing but could do with one for a song or two- congrats to the new owner

oohhh ive wanted one of these for a while, very happy with my tri 110,s but ive always wanted 2x whappo jnrs, always had a thing for 4x12,s, but skint though, great cab, these dont appear often - bump!!!

ive got to have one of these, in particular the mint green with maple board- ooooohhhh!!!! just love it - bump
