  1. I note that this has two inputs, does that mean, you can plug in two basses and switch between them, if so i may be slightly interested - lee

    (SOLD)

    Hi Everyone After buying a fretless i couldnt really afford and needing a high quality gigbag for my new Ken Smith, ive reluctantly decided to move this on, i bought this a few months ago and have used it on a couple of shows and it sounded great, its a CIJ 62 reissue fender precision in fiesta red, made in 2004 it features a lightweight basswood body, tinted maple neck with a very nice rosewood fingerboard, the previous owner fitted new CTS pots and jack socket (as per USA Fenders) and a kent armstrong hot vintage pickup, so has much nicer electronics than the standard Export Jap Fenders. It has recently been set up by Phil Hartley in Bolton and has been fitted with a set of D, addario chromes flatwounds (105-50) so plays great and sounds very warm and woody, the best thing about it is the neck its a lovely comfortable C shape and perfect for little fellas like myself who find Precision necks a bit too manly it has a lovely grain to it and i dont have to wax too much on the quality of these japanese Fenders. The condition is very good it has a couple of dings one at the back which cant be seen and a very small one on the neck joint, it will ship with a decent gigbag. I would like £350 including delivery, cheers everybody - LEE - THIS IS NOW SOLD!!!!!!

  4. [quote name='velvetkevorkian' post='613244' date='Sep 30 2009, 08:31 PM']NS Design site says black rosewood.[/quote] Aye it,s probably not ebony, i bought mine when they first came out, and they were advertising them as ebony, but rosewood is more likely, there was a lot of speculation on talkbass, about them having very cheap ebony fingerboards hence the dye, a bit of a pain when it comes off, but it doesnt look too bad! doensnt spoil a cracking instrument, great value - lee
  5. +1 Phil has worked on my basses for the past couple of years now, he,s very professional and conscientious (prob spelt wrong) and has done a cracking job giving my jazz a makeover, and the best thing is he lives about 5mins from my house, his price list is on his website, all the best - lee
  6. I absolutely adore the music in "dirty harry" and no idea who played it, but id imagine you,d be on the money with carol kaye, with that lovely p bass with a pick thing, didnt the meters do a lot of that type of stuff as well? they are well worth a listen"""
  7. The body looks wrong to me, the horns are similar to the old lyte basses, but no! looks like a mongrol to me, i,d avoid especially at that price, much better MIJ alternatives have been available for less money!! - LEE
  8. I love treating my fingerboards with lemon oil, my jazz especially comes up really nice!!!, my ken smith has a pau ferro fingerboard, but ive not used any on that yet! Dave (essential tension) a small word of warning, if your using it on the WAV the fingerboard is actually dyed, i gave it a clean with some dunlop guitar polish and a load of it came off, to show a lighter coloured wood underneath (prob still ebony just not jet black) just a thought mate!! all the best, remember lads when it comes to lemon oil addiction!!! IT STAYS ON THE FORUM!!! - LEE
  9. Just gorgeous, i love the infinitys, and id really be drooing if it was a 5, its the only thing id get rid of my smith for!! bump for a piece of art!!!
  10. [quote name='4 candles' post='605919' date='Sep 22 2009, 06:22 PM']The drummer commented that "it looked like a tomato"[/quote] Absolute class, ive got one of these (although with standard japenese hardware) and it does look like a tomato, cool though!!! great colour on a p bass, and much cheaper than the pino model, shame there wasnt a nice vintage pickup in there too!! great bass BUMP!!!! lee
  11. Shame!!!, ive been asked to do this show in a couple of weeks, but im not available, some great tunes, and lots of nice show off moments, im sure ill get to play it at some point, cracking show!!!!- lee
  12. No sick puppy hasnt typo,d ive just read my boss codenames wrong, i thought it was the octave, but it is the overdrive- doh!!!!!
  13. Thats just stunning, ive just got a US ken smith bsr5 mw myself, otherwise id have your arm off!!!!, great basses highly recommended!!! this is a great example, mine doesnt look as posh as this- lee
  14. Just checked your thread!! is it the octaver your selling, or is it an overdrive pedal, please forgive my numptyness
  15. [quote name='niceguyhomer' post='590554' date='Sep 5 2009, 12:30 PM']I like both - am I bi-stringual?[/quote] Brilliant +1 me too!!! horses for courses!!!

    Traded,

    I know I know The allure of a ken smith was too much!!! this is an amazing bass, it was very difficult to let this go, but wasnt getting the use it deserved its sound was only suited to certain things IMO ( when i did use it, i got bloody noticed) would like this back eventually, gutted josh didnt like it but hey ho. the official colour designation is cherryburst dated 3/2/2003, big bump for a bass which i think has now gone so a bit moot, josh is a top guy to deal with and i think "rita" is becoming a basschat bike i love the ken smith though, very happy josh!!! im sure its new owner will be very pleased - all the best - lee

Many thanks Josh - lee
