This bass just hums. Easily playable with great tone that will accommodate anything from funk, to blues, to jazz, to straight up rock, and anything in between. On top of that it looks beautiful.

Street value of $5625. I’m asking $3750 firm. This does not include S & H.

I'm in NYC if you wanna check it out. Thanks for the interest.

Easy.

Any trades?
Here is one of your bass pics:

Thanks for posting the pic. TB attachment wasn't letting me post any pics.

As far as trades go, it depends on what is being traded. I'm not interested in any amps or heads. I might be interested in a Sadowsky Vintage 4 J. I'm selling it because I play upright mostly, and could use the cash to buy a German bow. I also have a Fodera Emperor Elite 5, and an ol' Fender Jazz. So, if need an electric bass I have those to play.

That's a sweet looking bass!!! That will not be around for too long. Why are you selling it (being that I am a very partial Smith owner) ???

A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste!

Dear Lord! If this was a BT Vintage body style..hmmm.

BUmp!

bassiszen · #12 09-14-2010, 04:01 PM

I think the newer body style is a little sleeker and a little better balanced.

Beautiful MTD in your pic skb5string.

Speaking of Tobias, should anyone have a Pre-Gibson that might perk my intrest for a trade.

Suresh · #14 09-15-2010, 01:26 PM

hey bassiszen, excuse for stepping in..but...I kept checking my eye, the picture shows a 5 strings Smith, but your fingerboard measurements sounds like a 6 strings Smith..Is your bass a custom?..or its simply a typho...pardon me if Im wrong..

Corrected. Thanks.

beautiful bass

I had a concern about me not having any feedback. Well you gotta start some where.

Anyway, I've listed it on eBay where you can bid on the bass and see my feedback. I've sold a few basses on there, and my feedback is very good. I was trying to avoid putting it on eBay, but sometimes you gotta dance with devil.

Forgot to mention the strap locks. That should seal the deal on a sale.
