I’m offering this stunning and all-original Ken Smith BT5 Elite from 1990. This bass not only looks incredible with its Quilted Maple top and back, but it also sounds phenomenal.

 

Specifications:

 

• Body: 5-piece construction (Quilted Maple top and back, Mahogany core)

• Neck: 5-piece Neck-through construction, 34” scale

• Fingerboard: Ebony, 24 frets

• String Spacing: 18mm at the bridge

• Year: 1990

• Weight: 4380g

• Case: Original Ken Smith Teardrop Case included

 

This bass hails from the earlier Smith era, known for its superb low action and exceptional playability. The frets are in excellent condition, and the neck is flawless. The gold hardware still shines beautifully, with only minor fading on the edges, which is expected from a bass of this vintage. There are a few minor signs of playwear, but nothing significant.

 

The bass comes with the original paperwork and even the original Ken Smith strings (currently strung with DR strings).

 

Price: €7200 €6600

Location: Mallorca, Spain

Also, ¿is this a BT Custom 5G, please?

¡Muchas gracias!
