PeteHantzios Posted June 29, 2020 Posted June 29, 2020 (edited) Mint condition and very nice playing and sounding Ken smith Burner 4 from the japan era, circa 1992.

Ash body Ken smith humbucking jazz pick ups Ken smith 2 band pre with passive option (push pull on volume) 3 piece maple neck, rosewood board 34" scale, 24 frets 3,7 kg Everything works as it should, I'm the second owner. 1300 1150 1050 pounds(only while something that I'm after is available) shipped to EU and UK in its ken smith teardrop hardcase (mint condition also). more pics here https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1XeNpVVC2R51fY3bQ4U2_sfd75j9uG8d7?usp=sharing thank you.

thebassist Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Lovely. I wish I was exaggerating when I say I've been on the lookout for a six-string version of this bass for 5 years now.
PeteHantzios Posted July 3, 2020 Author Posted July 3, 2020 Thanks. It trully is very nice and very even sounding all over the fretboard. The higher register is especially full and sweet sounding while the lower is thick and growly. It can do both jazz and rock imo. I'll try to record a couple of samples next week.
AndyTravis Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I had a 1991 Burner Deluxe - walnut top. Absolutely huge regret selling that on - I didn’t give it much of a chance, I know it would work wonderfully for the stuff my playing now. And I’d love this - just £1300 too poor at the moment... Great looking bass.
PeteHantzios Posted July 5, 2020 Author Posted July 5, 2020 Bump, price drop to 1150 pounds shipped to EU and UK. Also an audio sample has been added to the above dropbox folder. The bass is recorded straight through my cheap audio interface to my pc, with no processing whatsoever, no eq or compression(you can hear this in the slap part) except from some limiting for mixing purposes. Please excuse my playing.
PeteHantzios Posted July 9, 2020 Author Posted July 9, 2020 (edited) Some info about the sound samples. The bass was not properly matched as far as impedance goes with the interface since it was connected to the mic input(instead of the line input) which I noticed afterwards. (huge difference in volume pot taper) The pickups were too close to the strings giving a hotter sound with less treble. The strings were elixir nickels. Meaning it can sound better.

PeteHantzios Posted July 18, 2020 Author Posted July 18, 2020 (edited) Bump, this bass sounds more akin to a traditional smith, than a jazz bass, or you could say it sounds like a smith with a j flavour. Edited July 19, 2020 by PeteHantzios
Lefebvre Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Hello, I am interested in your bass. Is the price at 1150 euro? Can you take a photo of the electronics? Thank you. Olivier

Lefebvre Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 Can you take a picture of the serial number with the signature engraved on the handle or on the electronics plate? It is to know the model. Thanks in advance.
Lefebvre Posted July 23, 2020 Posted July 23, 2020 ok great, can you keep it for me? Can I pay you by paypal?
