Relisted Here: FS ONLY - KEN SMITH BSRJ 5-String - relist
NOW FOR SALE ONLY
$1,800 plus shipping with original Smith hard case.

I have a 1998 Ken Smith BSRJ 5 string that has been my standby since I picked her up in 1999. I started playing six string and my ol' standby doesn't get any love. I just picked up another 6'r so it has to go bye bye.

It has a little wear around the front p/u which can be taken care of with some of KS special sauce but I don't have it. Also, I replaced the pre-amp with a new one from Ken because the old one had a bad connection. The P/U plastic on the bridge has a chip and the front has a small crack but they have been there for years and not caused any sound issues.

Here are the specs: Ken Smith Basses, LTD. - BSR "J" Series

I SOOOO want this bass. It would make a perfect sister to my Ken Smith 1998 4 string that looks almost the same. If only there were funds in the guitar account! Good luck with the sale.

If you had the 6 string big brother to trade I'd be all over it.

Where in CT are you located? I'm in Milford/New Haven and have a BSRB6 custom I could trade. I love the bass but I'm not a 6 kind of player. Also have a burner 5 I love but hate the neck dive - I'm keeping that one. If you're close we could get together and see if we have a swap or something close - 6 for 5.
