Withdrawn/ Ken Smith 5MS 5 String Thru neck/ withdrawn £3250 SAFFRON WALDEN/Essex

[bassplayer76]

Amazingly Beautiful 5 String Ken Smith bass, sounds as good as you would expect.   Very comfortable to play with great definition and even tone across the neck.  Bought this just before the first lockdown for a tour that got cancelled and then cancelled again a year later.  I prefer my Ken Smith 6 string so I'm not using this.

Has a few very small dings, not really noticeable and the case is immaculate.

Such a wonderful dense wood consistency, but not really that heavy.  A joy to play.

Thanks for the correction, 5MS it is.

No fretboard markers! Looks especially tempting, although...

I’d say a very good price for a smithy thru neck! Good luck with things 😊

Love this. Having recently bought a 4 string Smith, I’m seriously considering a 5 - and you’re so close to me 😬.

 

What is the weight of this bass please?

4.5 kilos , doesn’t feel that heavy though, and I’m an old timer.

Can you please tell me difference? Cheers.

[bassplayer76]

As far as I can tell: this is a 3 piece neck, not 5 piece, and the hardware is chrome. Apart from that, I can’t see much difference.

Welcome to come and try it out.
