Top notch quality and a sound like no other. This bass was built in 1998 and is in superb condition. It's been recently serviced and set up with a new set of DR Pure Blues. Need I say more. . .

White Cloud Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 If this had come up in a few months time I'd have been taking it home!
totorbass Posted October 15, 2017 Posted October 15, 2017 (edited) The[s] top [/s]body looks like lacewood to me, not quilted maple IMO. Am I wrong? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lacewood#/media/File:Lacewood.jpg Do you ship to EU, btw? Edited October 15, 2017 by totorbass
ElijahBass Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 (edited) It does kind of look like lacewood but the info from Ken Smith says its quilted maple. I'll take some photos in better lighting and put them up later. Send me a PM to discuss EU shipping Edited October 16, 2017 by ElijahBass
JensWest Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 That's most likely a lacewood body. And a pau ferro fretboard. Write and ask Ken, or post on his forum. He's quick to reply.
ElijahBass Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Ok. After hearing from the previous owner of this bass he had a similar issue when he bought this instrument. The error occurred when The Bass Centre supplied the wrong tag with this bass. He contacted Ken and the bass is indeed lacewood. In my correspondence with Ken , I made the error of using the serial number on the tag also. I’ll attach pictures to show the tags supplied by Bass Centre. Somewhere out there , someone has a similar bass in maple with a tag that says Lacewood 🙈. Would be cool if said person was to see this
Rob bass Posted October 17, 2017 Posted October 17, 2017 Beautiful smith , amazing selling one bump on me !!!
