SOLD Ken Smith BSR5EG Elite quilted maple (in UK)

Now £3250 ! -
People Say by The Meters. Struggling to transition between the A and D on the first part of the famous bass break, and need to tighten up the second part. May have to up the tension (currently on TI flats) for a bit more resistance!

Curious indeed! If you take the amp out of the chain, and go bass - drive - interface, does Logix record the effected driven signal?

Serial numbers did not appear on the headstock until 1976, according to 'The Fender Bass: an Illustrated History' -
Yes indeed. I'm even tempted to put in an offer for the scales used to weigh it...

Sounds an excellent challenge, best of luck! Do you get one of these to help turn the score pages?

Stunning Si!!! 😍

Just bought a MIcrothumpinator from Paul, as always a friendly, rapid transaction and it arrived the day after payment! Top recommendation

For the record here are pics of mine with a cream guard (looks more white in the pics than it really is). Ignoring the gap below the output and the rough fit at the pups, I really like it!

3.4 kg ?! That's super-light! I'm on my second (having sold one to @stewblack and then missing it...) and both were at the 4kg mark. No neck dive on those though, maybe because of the extra body weight. Both had the mis-aligned pickup poles, I briefly changed my current one to a cheap cream pickguard that I hacked to fit so that the poles would align, but I couldn't detect any difference in volume or tone. But I may ask Sims to do me a proper cream pickguard now that they have the stock measurements from you! Have you tried your with Bass Centre Stainless Steel Elites (the factory-fitted strings for this model)? It roars with them on A great fun P bass to play, hope you enjoy it as much as I have. PS the fingerboard is maccasar ebony, lovely and dark as you say.

Sean Hurley - great P & flats tone / solo
Kevsy71 replied to wateroftyne's topic in General Discussion
Also his Fender CS signature model (which he is playing in the clip) has a rocker mute fitted, which presses a strip of stiff foam to the underside of the strings near the bridge. -
Four I enjoy: The Clown - Charles Mingus A Love Supreme - John Coltrane (Jimmy Garrison) Ornette Coleman - New York is Now (also Jimmy Garrison) The Big 3 - Ray Brown
-
Correct (at least for KS, I don't know about F bass).
-
Incidentally, this could result in a 'Kevin Smith' bass, and I would have zero excuse not to buy a bass with my entire name on it
-
@stewblack I fully agree - as you know after selling you your BT Profile I missed it greatly - and soon bought another! My favourite P that I've owned, including custom shops and an original '65. Have you tried it with flats? I love mine with La Bella Fls, but I've heard the The Bass Centre's own Detroit Flats are an excellent match.

Now sold, thanks for all the interest -
Gorgeous 😍 The church band play modern worship material, so I'm hoping to get a gospel workout Covers band are mainly rock/blues. I think I can cop the tone on the KS, I just need to get faster playing a 5!
