overwater#1 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Posted March 29, 2010 True, I'm just trying to think if losing two basses to get a Smith, which probably won't do any more for me than my beloved Overwater 6, is justifiable. I've sold the Status, and am looking at a Sei fretless, which to be honest might provide more for me than a Smith if I'm being realistic. I'll have a think, maybe when I've finished uni and paid my debts, I'd rather get a Fodera then!!!

Have you actually played the bass you're getting?
overwater#1 Posted April 9, 2010 Author Posted April 9, 2010 Can't wait!!! Well, no.. afraid not. I've done my research though, and know its a good'n! I mean after hearing from Ken, and doing research, they all sound very similar across the range of his basses, and I know the BTiger is a great model. Al Turner? So aslong as I know it functions properly, and its in good condition, which its STUNNING, it should be fine. Trust me, i've asked loads of questions, so i'm confident its a good one!! Well, its coming from 'yybass' on here, who also has the Ritter, some other Smiths, and a few Foderas! He was using the Smith regular from what I know, so imagine its pretty fine.. and he didn't intend on selling it, but knew I wanted one, and wouldn't mind using the Fodera instead..I mean, come on!! Oooo can't wait!!
geoffbassist Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 Congratulations matt. I've always wanted a smith, great instruments :-)
