Mickb1773 Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Hi Gang, Looking to trade this Ken Smither Burner 5.It's a 1990 but in Very Good condition (a few marks but not many).It has been upgraded to a Hipshot bridge with user changeable spacing.Bartolini Pickups and Bartolini 2 Band 18 Volt Preamp Ideally Id like to trade for either a fretless or cash your way for a Wal/US Ken Smith or MTD. I think it's the nicest burner Ive seen All the best, Mick [attachment=32612:DSC_0796.jpg][attachment=32611:DSC_0803.jpg] [attachment=33847:IMG_0153_1.JPG][attachment=33841:SANY0154.JPG] [attachment=33842:SANY0155_1.JPG][attachment=33845:SANY0157_1.JPG] [attachment=33844:SANY0156_1.JPG] Edited October 19, 2009 by Mickb1773
Cairobill Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 (edited) Just to give your ad a gee up. Hadrien Feraud (French super technician) plays one of these... Here's a Burner in the hands of a rather heavy player... [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dACuMHfEbrM"]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dACuMHfEbrM[/url] ...and it's still his main bass even after getting a Fodera... Edited September 11, 2009 by Cairobill
k-sad Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 he even kept his Burner when Ken Smith sent him a brand new 12 000 usd one By the way, he is selling the Sadowsky fretless 5er he used in his album... (gonna receive a F bass model soon ^^)
Mike Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 I might be interested in the Burner - open to offers? Or have you a price in mind for a straight sale?

Thats lovely playing! (sorry for the derail but if you are going to link to that kind of thing you deserve it )
k-sad Posted September 11, 2009 Posted September 11, 2009 i'm gonna see him on sunday for a 3 hour masterclass thing... Just can't wait...
Mickb1773 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Posted September 11, 2009 For Mike, I'd prefer a trade as with the current Euro versus Sterling exchange rate I could not see anyone stumping up 1250 Euro =£1100 ...but you 'd never know .Granted this has the Bartolini's Pickups and 18 Volt Pre amp with a Hipshot Bridge but it would still be a stretch considering they normally go for £800 on basschat, All the best, Mick.

Guest BassKS Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 what a beaut... any clips... any recording zession? Id like to hear the 18v bart circuit.....and then have a chat with my GP whether the right kidney could handle the load once the left one is sold...
Mickb1773 Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 Sorry No Clips.I'll get the Model of the Bartolini Pre amp and post it later if that helps,Typical Bartolini though ...SMOOTH All the best, Mick.

It is 2/3 the size of a 9V battery. The sound is very clear and transparent. Distortion is well below 0.001%. The preamp can be used with either 1 - 9 volt battery ( 9 volt operation ) or 2 - 9 volt Batteries ( 18 volt operation ) which yields 6 db extra headroom All the best, Mick

Guessing the tonal range is pretty good??? Thanks

Thanks[/quote] Neck is not too deep.There is a Hipshot bridge on it so you can change the spacing to your liking which is very handy and a great range as expected with the Bartolinis, All the best, Mick.
