NJE Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Dont know if this should be in bass guitars or if anyone got here before me, but here is the new Ken Smith Burner Hadrien Feraud signature, look really sweet IMHO. [attachment=33345:HADBURNER.jpg] [attachment=33346:HADBURNER02.jpg] [attachment=33347:HADBURNER03.jpg] [attachment=33348:BURNERBASS06.jpg] Spec from hadrien himself: "Hi , I'm happy to show you the new Ken Smith Burner Signature made on my own specifications . It’s made in Japan under Ken Smith control by SleekElite cie Mr Hajime Hirose ( Ken Smith Importer for japan )" "The choice of woods is amazing : Buckeye , spalted Maple , Quilted Maple , Bubinga ….Walnut back .. Ivory ramps , Ivory Fingerboard ." "Regarding to control. Master Volume / Balancer / Bass / Treble / Mid Rotary Switch. This Mid Switch is amazing , it’s a 4 ways button , I can choose from 3 boost range. I can boost the volume as well when I take a solo .. Headstock is looking like Ken Smith range ( not as the old Burner)" "The Bass is active /passive String spacing will be 17,5 mm , action is low and perfect for the way I play .." Quote
Dread Bass Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Well that's very nice and the mids switch sounds interesting. Wonder what the price will be? Quote
wombatboter Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 He's got taste...very beautiful. Quote

yorks5stringer Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 Will it make his music any less boring (to my ears?) Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I dont like it Maybe I'm making myself look ignorant, but I've never heard of Hadrian Fraud Quote
Bilbo Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I have always considered Ken Smith basses to be fundamentally ugly. Whatever they sound like (and I have heard some great sounding KS basses), they look horrible. Like me I guess; sound ok but looks ugly.... Quote

NJE Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 I have to admit I am not a huge fan of Hadrien (sounds a little dull sometimes to me) but I do appreciate his style because i love the look of this, just looks classy IMHO. strangely I am not usually a Smith fan but that made me go wow! maybe its the Buckeye and black hardware combo, I do love a bit of buckeye, just wish I could afford a bass made with some.

Cairobill Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 (edited) There's nothing like a big fat ramp whacked over a coffee table top between two single coils...in the morning... [attachment=33353:Photo_on...16.57__2.jpg] Edited September 23, 2009 by Cairobill Quote

Seen pink ivory before but not black. Maybe I should get out more. If this bass makes you play like HF, that alone should be a reason to avoid it THIS IS A JOKE BASED ON PERSONAL TASTE Quote

NJE Posted September 23, 2009 Author Posted September 23, 2009 Do we think he means ebony maybe? Quote
wordsetcetera Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Surely "Ebony and Ivory live together in perfect harmony" ? Don't they? Quote
Chris2112 Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Looks cool, although they shouldn't come with chrome hardware...yuck! Quote
Pete Academy Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Careful guys, he may go the same way as Janek. Quote

Kiwi Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I'd like to see anyone else persuade Ken Smith his basses needed a ramp. Quote

Kiwi Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Hadrien is a member of this forum I believe and, by all accounts from those I know who have actually met him in real life, a very nice chap. I don't understand what he's done to deserve a slagging off. Quote
Pete Academy Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 [quote name='thisnameistaken' post='608280' date='Sep 25 2009, 04:33 AM']Thanks for that two-line insight into the psyche of Hadrien Feraud, followed by the 12 lines of capital letters explaining which guitars you've bought.[/quote] Well said, both you and Jake.

Pete Academy Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 [quote name='AndyTravis' post='608223' date='Sep 24 2009, 10:14 PM']Hadrien Feraud is i twat, lets face it. I know I didn't stop around to watch him after he cruised around bass day uk 2007 w***ing gleefully into the punters faces. What a dick.[/quote] BTW, I've heard of an iPod, but what is an iTwat? Quote
Mike Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 I had no idea people had beef with HF, I think he's great and has always come across as a nice guy and humble to me. Anyway, back to the thread - anyone know how much these will be sold for? Talkbass people are suggesting $2500-$3000! Quote
WHUFC BASS Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 Hadrien Feraud....wasn't he the pervy bloke that blamed everything on his mother? Quote
