tomthebass Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 (edited) Happy Friday everyone! Hesitating a lot about this one but new bass incoming and I need to be ruthless 🫣 Lovely and unusual all original Ken Smith from 1997, super comfy to play, usual Ken Smith punchy tone and feel. Bolt on 3-piece maple neck with morado fingerboard, oiled body with walnut core and ash wings. Usual 3-band Ken Smith preamp and standard knobs. Great condition throughout with a little wear under the G-string and above the neck pickup, see pics. Weight is 3.8kg on my bathroom scales. Bought from a US talkbasser in 2020, I can share the original ad and YouTube walk around video of the bass plus customs receipts on request. Comes with a lovely old Ken Smith hard case - new pics added. Open to sensible offers but not looking to trade. Go on, you know you want to!

snorkie635 Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 I reckon I'd need to be Howard Hughes to buy every bass I like on the for sale thread at the moment. Another lovely one. GLWTS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkle Posted August 25, 2023 Share Posted August 25, 2023 Interesting. What’s the nut width and what’s the neck like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomthebass Posted August 25, 2023 Author Share Posted August 25, 2023 @funkle Nut width is 39mm. Not sure what you meant about the neck? Truss rod works fine and so the neck is set up slightly concave with decently low action and no buzzing frets. Currently strung with a newish set of DR fat beams 45-105. Cheers, Tom 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wombatboter Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 If this were in Europe I would buy this in a minute but the extra taxes etc make it hard.. I have actually the same model since a long time but I would fancy another one..I was very lucky to find one really cheap around here in Belgium at 20 miles from my home. I have owned around 280 basses (from Wal to Zon to Alembic) but this would be my main bass if I had to choose one for life.. Good luck with the sale !

hiram.k.hackenbacker Posted August 27, 2023 Share Posted August 27, 2023 I'm relatively new to the world of Smith basses, but I've been blown away by the White Tiger I have; it's a superb instrument. Someone is going to be very happy with this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
