rockinbassman Posted July 6, 2008 Posted July 6, 2008 (edited) Right I bought this a little while ago from Gunsfreddy2003. Only been used a couple of times since. Bought for £600 As much as I love this bass, I have another Jazz at home which I can not part with, so one has to go! Its a Ken Smith Designs KSD 704 Proto-J with an upgraded EBS pre-amp on board. Maple Board with Block inlays, and natural body with black pickguard. This bass is Mint, and comes with a Tweet MTB hardcase. You can get a huge variety of tones from the Eq on this bass, and feels and plays great. Collection from Brighton, or postage can be arranged for an additional cost. [url="http://www.kensmithbasses.com/KSD/V70series.htm"]http://www.kensmithbasses.com/KSD/V70series.htm[/url] Im very interested in trades for: A 5 or 6 String of some kind. A P-Bass. A Musicman of some description. Show me what you have got!! Also looking for a sale of around £600 (what I paid). Open to sensible offers. Paul Only a couple of pictures at the moment, will get some more soon... Edited November 21, 2008 by rockinbassman
ianrunci Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 Lovely bass. Seems a bit over priced though. But if you can get it go for it

ianrunci Posted July 7, 2008 Posted July 7, 2008 These basses stock without the pre amp are £480 before shipping costs and import duty, so add those and the price of the pre amp and it must be easily worth £550 So an early BUMP for a great bass
gafbass02 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 great sounding basses, wish i could buy another id so take it.

Looking at trades for P Basses
bass_ferret Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 You could always pup a P puppy in the neck position
rockinbassman Posted July 11, 2008 Author Posted July 11, 2008 mmm did think about that... but really fancy a P and already have my excellent RI Jazz. The HD350 is sounding great by the way
Alfie Noakes Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Would you consider a Warwick Double Buck 4 string in black, for a swap? I'm not entirely sure that it's on its going, but tell me what you think - it may help me make my mind up. Regards, Phil

With upgraded pre, you are looking at £700 or more.
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 + 1 on that. The EBS pre-amp alone is £150 fitted. That £480 price would be the conversion from US $ but then you would have to pay over 20% on top of that in customs and import duty. This is a great bass.
