£5000
London


Recommended Posts

Hi, Ken Smith BT6 from 1991 for sale.

 

Collection only from London. No trades.

 

Sold with Ken Smith strap, Ken's secret sauce and Rockbass gigbag.

 

I am the second owner. Had it for around 10 years.

 

Ebony fingerboard. Macasser Ebony top, Walnut back and core. 

 

Bought and sold here several times. Feedback in usual place

 

The Good

Bass plays brillantly.

Very low action.

Amazing even defined tone across all notes, like a grand piano.

Great B string.

2 band circuit was replaced, was a Warwick one when I got it, with a new Ken Smith circuit & knobs about 2 years ago, direct from Ken himself. Sounds great and very quiet.

Truss rod also replaced at the Bass Gallery. Was broken when I got it.

Neck is very stable. Trussrod only been tweaked half a dozen times over 10 years. 

 

The Bad

Heavy. 5.2kg - see photo

Has some wear, notably on back of neck. See photos. 

Has hairline crack next to B tuner. Not structural.

 

Will be sad to see it go but I rarely use the C string. 

 

More photos on request.
