Harry Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 (edited) I have added the details from the original post below, i have not had this bass long and hardly used it, selling this Smith 6 and my other 6 Smith due to health reasons as instructed by my specailist I have to say this is seriously one of the best sounding and playing smiths as well as build quality, plus this is a limited edition Smith, there were only 8 of these made and this is number 3, it really is a stunning bass and has a lovely slim , fast neck profile... [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Price : £3150.00 plus shipping, this is a cash sale price and is firm ( this was the original price i paid) [/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Not really looking for trades, if there was a possible trade , trade value would be more than the cash sale price and am happy to negotiate this. [/font][/color] [font=Arial][size=4]Up for sale is my BSR6EG Limited Edition 6 string. The serial number shows it was number 3 of 8 limited edition basses made.

Acebassmusic Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Sad to hear your having to sell her on so soon. I sold / traded this with Harry for his Smith Fusion Anniversary 5 and can recommend trading with him. As he says, the bass is beautiful and although I did quite a lot of gigging with it, it really IS in showroom condition! The original sales link for bigger pics is here : [url="http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202011-sold-ken-smith-bsr6eg-limited-edition-sold/page__fromsearch__1"]http://basschat.co.uk/topic/202011-sold-ken-smith-bsr6eg-limited-edition-sold/page__fromsearch__1[/url] Good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
