Ken Smith BSR6EG Six String Elite Quilted Maple / Walnut Excellent

FS: Ken Smith BSR6EG Six String Elite Quilted Maple / Walnut Excellent

$3400 shipped via UPS Ground, Insured to the contiguous 48 states

I am offering for sale my Ken Smith BSR 6EG Six String Elite S/N 6EG222302F with original hardshell case and accessories.

I am the original owner and I personally picked it up from Ken’s Factory in 2002. I have mixed feeling about letting this go, but its not getting the play time it deserves, because I mainly play 5’s and 4’s (my hands are small). It was never gigged, only used in my studio. This bass has a rich tone and a full, fat bottom, unlike any of my other basses. The ebony board gives it a glassy piano like tone. The action is ridiculously low w/o fret buzz. If I didn’t have another Ken Smith this one wouldn’t be for sale.

No trades please. I need this to fund a gas purchase.

Here are the specifications:

Body:
-Beautiful Quilted Maple Top, back and Matching Headstock
-5 piece body with |Maple Top|Walnut|Mahogany Core|Walnut|Maple back

Neck:
-Macassar Ebony Fretboard
-5 piece Maple with Walnut Stringers

Electronics:
-Kens proprietary 9 volt electronics
-series parallel switching

Hardware
-Gold hardware

Included Accessories:
-Original Ken Smith Hardshell case
-Original Ken Smith Strap and Dunlop Straplocks
-Set of new Ken Smith medium taper strings
-Original Polishing Cloth & Paperwork


Condition:
In light of a complete and perfectionist disclosure, I went over this bass from top to bottom and here is what I found:
There are a total of 6 cosmetic imperfections that keep this bass from being mint condition. These are outlined below and shown in the pictures as follows:
1) Head Stock ding– ~ 0.1” square
2) Front Right body ding – < 0.1”
3) Front left body ding– oval about 0.1” x 0.15”
4) Top horn ding on– oval < 0.1”
5) Slap Haze below C string (hardly noticeable)
6) Near jack entry ding – <0.2”

I Accept Paypal or Money Orders

Thanks for looking
