I have not owned a Ken Smith, so I can't comment other than saying it probably comes down to nuanced preference among most bass at this level. However, as stated above, excellent playability and huge range of sounds.

[MtnGoat]

controls are volume volume treble mid lows
the first volume pot is a push-pull on/off for the active/passive mode selection.

I had a chance to play a Ken Smith 5 and a Surine 5 back to back at a NAMM show a few years back. I tried the Surine first, then the Smith.
I promptly went back and bought the Surine!!

This is by no means a dig at Ken Smith and everyone's taste are different but I have played several of each since and still come back to the same conclusion.

Surine's are amazing instruments and are worth every penny

For those who are interested, I've got audio samples from some recordings I've done with this bass. They are in a rock fingerstyle setting recorded at nice studios. I'm also working on recording a thumbstyle audio sample as well.

[MtnGoat]

Thanks for all of the inquiries. Both thumb-style and finger-style audio samples are now available upon request.
