glassmoon Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Perhaps a strange question, but I've been in love with the Ken Smith BT6 since I first saw John Patitucci'videos back in the mid 90s. Unfortunately, I've never seen one up close, let alone that I'll never be able to afford such a prize, but I am interested to know as much about these basses as I possibly can.... (dons geek cap) Body dimensions, overall length, etc. etc. Any information really would be so very much appreciated. Is there anyone who is ready, willing and able to pull out of tape measure for my bass nerdery? Kindest regards, Julian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itu Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 Someone here knew that the pickups were made by Kent Armstrong, I think. Who did the electronics? (Surine resembles KS a bit.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pukie Posted November 7, 2021 Share Posted November 7, 2021 The Ken Smith website is pretty comprehensive, ….. Have you looked here? http://www.kensmithbasses.com/general-specs/ Also Ken has made some YT video blogs about his basses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glassmoon Posted November 8, 2021 Author Share Posted November 8, 2021 Ah, many thanks @Pukie. I have seen something like that before... I will head over there right away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ectoplasm Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 What a coincidence - John's two Electric Bass tuition videos are what made me want a BT6, too. Mine is pictured here. Here are the specs: Length: 1127mm. Width: 366mm. Body thickness: 36mm. Headstock width: 100mm. Nut width: 54mm. 24th fret width: 92mm. Bridge width: 117mm. Weight: 11lbs 5oz. Star sign: Virgo. (Or at least, Ken's quality control test is dated the 6th of October 1993.) Is this enough detail to 3D print one? 😊 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am supremely jealous (in a good way of course) of that absolutely gorgeous bass. Wow, there really is nothing finer in my opinion. B. Thank you so,so,so much for the information. That is stellar of you. That has made my day, month and year @Ectoplasm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
