This Ken Smith was originally Ken's personal bass. I asked him about it and he said he has record of doing over 40 recordings with this between 83 and 84. For being 28 years old it's in excellent condition. No big dings or scratches. This bass was built when Vinny Fodera was doing all the wood work and Ken was installing the pickups and electronics and doing the final setup. $3,200 shipped.
34" inch scale
Smith Humbucking pickups
Taps for both pickups.
Controls: Volume, Pan, Bass/Treble stacked.
Neck: Maple with Walnut Stringers
Body: Maple/Walnut
Chrome Hardware
Smith Original Hard Shell Case
Under the control cavity is listed everything that was was ever changed or worked on by Ken. You can check this out in the pics. Also included is the original complete Hazlab pre-amp. If you have any questions at all, please feel free to let me know through a pm. I will update with any information I may have left off. Link to pics below. http://s877.photobucket.com/albums/a...20Ken%20Smith/

Bump for one VERY cool bass. If I had the extra dough, I would definitely snatch up this piece of bass history.
