Hi there yes i purchased a sm1 late last year , i was looking for a smith of which i already have a Hadreien feraud , but wanted an american thro neck version , then someone tipped me off about jones basses , after a few chats with Mark Jones i took a leap of faith having not tried 1 or even seen 1 , i specked it as i wanted , roll on 2 months later the bass turned up , the build quality and finish is already at a usa Smith level , sound wise you will get the same tones as a smith as the pick ups come from the same supplier , the woods are very similar and the construction is exactly the same , i was blown away with this bass partic as it’s 40% of the cost of the likewise Smith , so pleased with this i ordered a different design and different pick up configuration which i will be receiving next week , ive already seen pictures of it during the build and have no doubt it will be as good as the sm1 . If anybody is looking for a truly fantastic handmade bass i can recommend these , altho they are expensive compared to mass produced basses they are a snip compared to smith , fodera ect and just as good

yes i bort 1 in december last year liked it so much ive just purchased another with different pups and shape , fantastic build quality and although expensive a snip to said other makes
