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 Kens Factory in 2002. I have mixed feeling about letting this go, but its not getting the play time it deserves, because I mainly play 5s and 4s (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 didnt have another Ken Smith this one wouldnt 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
