rockinbassman Posted July 6, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianrunci Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Lovely bass. Seems a bit over priced though. But if you can get it go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ianrunci Posted July 7, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockinbassman Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfie Noakes Posted July 12, 2008 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With upgraded pre, you are looking at £700 or more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsfreddy2003 Posted July 16, 2008 Share 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.
