Mike Posted April 20, 2008 Share 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!

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwater#1 Posted April 20, 2008 Share 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* !!!!

Mike Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overwater#1 Posted April 20, 2008 Share 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 !!!

Mike Posted June 29, 2008 Author Share Posted June 29, 2008 Bump - still available, not worried whether it goes or not really, still enjoying it, just not gigging with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwilym Posted June 29, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted July 25, 2008 Author Share Posted July 25, 2008 Little bump - more open to fours, old fenders, laklands, anything interesting..!

franzbassist Posted July 28, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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..
