  1. 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"""
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. 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!!!
  5. [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
  6. 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
  7. 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!!!!!
  8. 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
  9. Just checked your thread!! is it the octaver your selling, or is it an overdrive pedal, please forgive my numptyness
  10. I take it thats the oc3 gone then!!!
  11. [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!!!

  14. Giggity giggity thats just amazing, such a beautiful instrument, i really like the idea of E-C stringing too , must check that lottery ticket, would truly love to have a go on this!! bump for this chance in a lifetime - lee

    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

    Sold.

    Mine now, thanks josh its amazing!!!!
  17. Just done my second deal with Josh i traded a cool warwick and an amazing musicman sterling, fr what can only be described as a work of art and a dream come true as im now the proud owner of his Ken Smith bsr5 mw, as always a top fella and a good chat ( dont want to see my phone bill ) will deal with him anytime. Many thanks Josh - lee
  18. Thats the dogs doodahs that is, just lovely, just got a nice fretless and im resisting the urge have a bump - lee

    Sold.

    Aye mate backing track far too loud drowning the bass tone far too much, can hear enough to know its some tasty playing though, and a lovely sound
  20. Still fancy a trade on a diffrent 5 string, let me know what you have, would like fender jazz(pref maple board), musicman stingray(rosewood Twin pickup) any lakland skyline WHY PS the pics do not do this bass justice i need a better camera!!! if youve owt interesting giz a PM - LEE
  21. Ive known and dealt with howard for 17 years now, and he,s always been a star, i greatly miss him tweaking my basses, ive even owned a jazz bass he built which was superb!!!, just sold him my schallers a pleasure to deal with as always highly recommended thanks mate - lee

    Sold.

    That is just stunning!!!! i love it!!! Ive yearned for a smith for a very long time, always loved the look and sound, shame you didnt get on with it, id really love it, but i dont think ive anything you,ll fancy, and certainly no cash!!! im sure this will go quickly, and you,ll find your sound mate, all the best Josh - lee
  23. Thanks for thecomments guys!! Yeah i love the sterling i use it more for rock and funk gigs, the fenders are getting a bit more play at the mo, i do a lot of amateur theatre and use whatever bass is more appropriate for the show, i,d love a double pickup sterling myself, the nordstrand in it is great its a lot beefier sounding than a normal sterling, and its killer for slap!!! my warwick is still a great all rounder though and most people love it when you sneak in a bit of low B so i tend to use it for pop gigs!! Its amazing how GAS grabs you, since i got the fretless ive all the sounds i need and cant really justify anymore basses, but i am having lustful thoughts toward a yamaha trb 6, and the amp is always work in progress!!!! keep posting those collections everybody!! - lee
  24. Cant believe this is still for sale, i was about to buy this bass, unfortunately essential tensions MIA fretless jazz came up , and my wife let me buy it so someone else should buy this as they are fantastic and this is a bargain ( eehh i love stating the bleeding obvious) big BUMP!!!! - lee
  25. Not much love for the groove!!! I have two they are reasonably lightweight and sound great ( although yes SPL,S are greatly overestimated) always struggled with loud rock gigs, have no plans to sell them, good job by the sound of things, i might get ten bob and a pickled egg!!!, would love to try the barefaced cabs and the new epifani ones!!! i do still miss m old EBS prline 4x10 though it was awesome, but heavy!!! thanks for the very interesting info - lee
