mrbassman_de Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 (edited) The BMT series have been built from 1993 to 1997 - basically it has the same spec like the all-time top-of-the-line Smith series - the later Fusion Elite. With a small difference: The BMT Series has the real neck-through concept. Newer neck are built like dove-tails. You can see the difference in the back. The real neck-through is of course more expensive as there is much more waste from sanding the neck wood piece. Additionally - the headstock is black instead of matching the top wood. The BMT are probably the most sought after basses today. There are about 150 built - and this is the one of the very rare fretless ones. This bass was originally fretless - has been fretted and later defretted again. Honestly I must say that I prefer the fretted sound on Smiths. Condition is absolutely like new ! The Quilted Maple looks much better in real life than in the pics. AAAAA Quilted Maple top 7pc body, 7pc neck 34“, 18mm spacing Weight 4,58 kg Original Smith Case Built 1994 SOLD Even if you like to let a top luthier fret this bass for let's say 400 GBP - you will get a llike new top-of-the-line Smith with the typical "click".

franzbassist Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 This bass used to be mine. I had it fully refurbished and fretted by Ken Smith. It's an awesome player. Records beautifully. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
