FS 2004 ken Smith BSR5GNWP

Sign in to disble this ad
Off the market.......I'm keeping it for a while longer.


My camera pretty much captured the true coloring of the wood. Pristine condition and I mean "pristine". Walnut top, mahogany center, maple neck w/ bubinga stripes, ebony FB. Top of the line woods on it. Has the 6 pin dip switches in the control cavity, DR Hi-Beams, great action, and best of all, the sound is articulate throughout. This YouTube clip accurately describes how it sounds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4AtH9ei1dY (listen with good headphones or stereo speakers)...... I would even think this belongs in an orchestra pit on Broadway. If you're into Ken Smith basses and that Smith sound, this is it. This one leans more toward gospel, fusion, jazz, and/or funk. Live it has nice presence. Great balance and solid construction. Great for recording to. HSC in very good condition, Smith strap w/Dunlops, smoke free environment.

String Spacing: Nut: 9mm (23/64") Bridge: 18mm (23/32")
Fingerboard Width: Nut: 1 3/4" 24th Fret: 3"

Why sell it? I'm looking to get a 6 string.

$2999 shipped/insured anywhere in the USA. No overseas (sorry)

More photos can be found here.

I've decided to keep it. I'm tired of getting depression after something like this pulls away on the UPS truck. Sorry gentlemen.
