TLBX Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Nice bass. I just recently picked one up here in Ireland. Ain't giged it yet but just might take it out tonite after finding this thread. Fantastic bass. Its a Cb4 from 92. All original Smith parts and case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Painy Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 [quote name='Dig' timestamp='1381267809' post='2236862'] Here's my Ken Smith BSR6GN, it has the lowest action of any bass I've played. It plays like butter, with a great neck, beautiful construction and versatile electrics. The last five digits of the serial number are FVP11 which stand for [color=#000000]F= Figured maple[/color] [color=#000000]V= 5 pc body wings[/color] [color=#000000]P= Presentation grade 4a figure in the maple (USA grown English Sycamore, old growth)[/color] [color=#000000]11 = 2011, the year made. [/color] [color=#000000]The body core is western figured maple, quilt/flame, the dark laminates are walnut, sawn from 1" stock and all matched. [/color] [color=#000000]The heel cap is tiger maple from British Columbia/western Canada and the smaller cam touching the neck is Shedua. The body strips to the nack/body joint are shedua and the neck is maple and shedua. [/color] [/quote] That right there would be my absolute, ultimate dream bass! If you ever find yourself in desperate need of a kidney..... 😜 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littleal Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 Lovely bass,, I have a bt6 black tiger too, sadly I might have to exchange it for a 5 string due to a hand injury, Hopefully I'll find a bt5 to replace it with, I love Smith basses,, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

obi 2 kenobi Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Been a while since anyone posted some Ken Smith. So here are mine. 1989 BT5 from The Stick of this parish. 1991 BT6 from ebay. After decades playing Fender & Musicman, went boutiquey. Purchased an Alembic Essence 5 (since sold), and these two all last year (big year). Kept both musicmans (4 & 5). But have to say the Smiths are something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ped Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Any other Smith owners? I registered at Ken’s forum to ask some questions about mine a while ago. He didn’t approve my account because he thought my surname (Hiscocks) was a joke, he said it sounded like a ‘porn name’ lol. All rectified with a chat - quite amusing. I know some people say he’s rude and arrogant etc but personally I don’t care if he’s a serial killer, I love his basses. That’s where my interest in him ends 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akabane Posted June 9, 2019 Share Posted June 9, 2019 Oh hello, everybody! New Smith owner here! My new bass so happens to be this beautiful 2004 Black Tiger, BSR6TN!
