Ken Smith BSRB 6 Custom

Sign in to disble this ad
Ken Smith BSRB 6 Custom. Gorgeous quilted maple finish. Built in 1999, signed and serial numbered by Ken.

$1200 firm.

This bass cost me $1000 from another member here. It came to me with the incorrect knobs and a bad output jack. In addition to installing those parts from Ken Smith I had a complete setup and fret-leveling done early last spring. The bass has about 6 hrs playing at my house since then.

Comes with original Smith hardshell case and a new set of DR strings (not installed). 16mm string spacing at the bridge. About 10.5 lbs weight on my bathroom scale.

There is a slight defect in the finish on the back of the neck at around fret 9 or 10. Seems like a tiny bubble in the finish which 'popped'. I will try to photograph that but it is barely noticable. There are some slight swirl marks on the back from shirt buttons that can be seen at some angles in the right light.

I really like this bass. It's in generally excellent condition, sounds and plays like a dream. I'm just not a 6-guy and I have found a replacement Smith 5. So I'd like to sell this one.

KEN SMITH's site for background info on this bass: Ken Smith Basses, LTD. - The BSR "B" Model

I am in Milford, CT. If you are close to Connecticut we can talk about meeting so you can see and make a final decision to buy this bass. I'm willing to bring it at least part way to you depending on your location and how certain you are of buying it. Or it can be shipped.

PRICE IS FIRM

NO TRADES.

SHIPPING IS EXTRA COST TO YOU

Thanks for looking.

This literally would have been the perfect buy for me if I had seen it 2 weeks ago. I live in New Haven.

Squire - sorry about that.

Thanks all for the interest.

Ok - the deal I was working on fell through. Bass is still available and I can meet partway from Milford, CT (we can discuss) or ship AT YOUR COST. I get pretty good fedex rates so you may find that worthwhile.


Anyone?

Any idea on what shipping to CO would be? This is RIGHT above my 1k limit and I'm deciding between this and a Modulus Q6. Thanks for any additional info.
