SOLD!!!!!!!

I tried to get used to a 6 and it's just not me.
Would like to just sell it outright.

$2150 shipped.
Prefer postal money order unless you can convince me somehow to use PayPal.

2 band pre-amp, three knob set-up.
Flame maple top and back over mahogny body wings with maple center block, macascar ebony fingerboard.
The CR series was the bolt-on high end Smith.
OHSC, but it's beat pretty bad!!
6.5 out of 10 in condition. It's been played. But not bad for a 16 year old bass.
Plays like a million and a half bucks and sounds like a classic Smith.

DISCLAIMER:
There was a repair done to the bass around the control cavity (Between the knobs- like the bass took a hit in that area).
The body was cracked and professionally repaired.
In fact, you have to be with-in inches of the bass to even see that it was done, and then it looks like mineral streaks in the wood.
Doesn't affect the bass in any way, other than the price being lower than if it wasn't cracked!:)
Ryan the store manager at Low Down Sound (www.lowdownsound.com) calls the repair a "10 out of 10 for repairs".
Give them a call if you would like!

I love you Mike...;)

No, I mean a real love...not some crazy man love. You know, the way you can love another man without people looking all funky at you and stuff.

34" scale length.
And I would consider trades, but I gotta be honest right up front, I'm not going to give what it's worth on the open market.
I really need to cash out on this bass right now.

If your bass is worth $1500 on TB, I'm gonna be like OK, your bass and $800 for example.
That way I can move you bass for say, $1300.

I know this makes me sound like a jerk about it, but I'm just trying to be upfront and honest.

Now, if some one had a MTD 535.......;)
