geoffgascoyne Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 I am selling my beloved Ken Smith 5 string bass, bought from Ken himself in NYC in 1990, it is Japanese blonde maple back and front with full through neck. It has some small repaired damage to the neck but in excellent condition. It has been loved for years. DHL delivery is around £75 and I live in South London if you want to see it. Any sensible offers? contact geoff 07956 283900 [attachment=61744:PICT0119.JPG] [attachment=61745:PICT0120.JPG] [attachment=61746:PICT0122.JPG] [attachment=61747:PICT0129.JPG] [attachment=61748:PICT0118.JPG] [attachment=61749:PICT0124.JPG] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boogiedee Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Hi Geoff. Is your bass still on sale? What's the model called? Cheers, Bo [i]Edit: Corrected misspelling :-/ [/i] Edited January 31, 2011 by boogiedee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffonite Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Why has no one bought this Ken Smith BT5? I would have thought something this rare and high quality would have sold easily. I know the damage must have put people off but these repairs are common and usually very succesful. Any ideas, comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstuk Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 If it worries you so much you post twice, perhaps you should buy it?
