Mike Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) [b]Now will accept £1500[/b] Hi all I'll level with you - I'm not going to gig with this regularly. I use it for one song per set, per gig, and it's not fair that it's a top-end bass, and going unused. But a 5, strung E-C? That's something I could use. Is anyone interested in a trade? I'm probably looking at something Jazzy, 5 or 4, probably Sei or Sadowsky. Let me know what you have! Regards Mike Edited July 27, 2008 by Mike

I guess I have a rough figure from what I could get selling on commission at the Gallery, or as p/ex there. Send me a PM
overwater#1 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Hey! How long have you had this? My mate who I haven't seen since November has one of these, identical to this one, including wear marks and everything. He was talking about selling it, but I don't think he did.. im just curious, is this his? Brent Forbes he's called. I love his BT6, its a stunning, stunning instrument. He offered it to me, but I went down the new bass route and got my Overwater. How much are you asking for this, just out of interest? Or what value in ££ would you put on the bass? PM me a figure if you dont want anyone else to know. It is beautiful though, and they play like a dream.... *drool* !!!! Cheers, Matt Edited April 20, 2008 by overwater#1
Mike Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 Hey Matt, it wasn't your friend, I'm sorry to say! I'll PM but I think I'm probably up for a trade more than anything.
overwater#1 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 (edited) Ah... wow, I can't express how identical this bass is, I was truly convinced this was his!!! Its a stunner though, very very nice!!! How long have you had this bass? Its very nice! No matter, it means he still has his, so I can save up and buy his!!! I am just intrigued what sort of value you put on this bass, as he mentioned something like £2500-3000 for his? Im probably wrong at that though! It is such a great vintage however! Thanks anyway mate, and good luck with the sale of the bass.. its stunning *droool* again Go on Ped, buy it, and when you're next up at Chris', il have a go !!! Best Wishes, Matt Edited April 20, 2008 by overwater#1
Mike Posted June 29, 2008 Author Posted June 29, 2008 Bump - still available, not worried whether it goes or not really, still enjoying it, just not gigging with it.
Gwilym Posted June 29, 2008 Posted June 29, 2008 can i just say that Mike is a top fella... I got to try out this bass for a potentally px on my Sei, and the Smith sounds fantastic, I just realised that I'm just not comfortable on a 6 string, otherwise this would probably be mine by now
Mike Posted July 25, 2008 Author Posted July 25, 2008 Little bump - more open to fours, old fenders, laklands, anything interesting..! Was at the Gallery discussing commission sales and played some superb Sadowskys and also a wonderful Lakland 55-94.
franzbassist Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Hi Mike Sweet bass - the older Smiths are wonderful basses. That one must be what, late 80s or very early 90s? Cheers Gareth

Cheers Gareth[/quote] +1 Though I'm not a 6 string player at all, having played one of these and heard a number of them over the years, there's just something about these Ken Smiths that kind of define what a 6 string bass is IMO.. Good luck with it!
