ped Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Hi guys I have seen another Smith that I really must have (4 string) so I need to sell this amazing bass. Everything about it is perfect; it has the exact ‘Smith Sound’ and is in superb condition. Its a BT5 model form 1991. It has a volume with pull passive mode which works without a battery, then a pickup pan knob followed by a stacked bass and treble. Most people say this is the classic Smith pre. The front and back is figured Koa (FK in serial number). Then there’s a maple layer with a mahogany centre. Theneck is graphite reinforced, maple and morado five piece. The setup is flat and low - making it effortless to play. The whole bass is so thin and resonant - slap an E on this and your whole body shakes. It comes with the original (again, sought after) teardrop hard case and leather strap. Currently strung with Elixir .040s. Weight is 4.4kg Collection from/near York strongly preferred although I’m happy to meet halfway to basically anywhere to ensure safe and happy receipt of bass. Some pics - can take more in request!

It's sold, currently sitting in a stand being admired by me with a glass of rum in hand. I've only had a brief chance to play it for an hour or so this evening but it's an incredible instrument. Ped - thanks again for accommodating a quick sale, I knew there would be no issues with the bass but it really was love at first sight. Cheers for letting me have a quick go on the Vigier too, super cool bass! I think I also need a get one of those Eich bass boards, super cool piece of kit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
