No longer available 2001 Ken Smith BT MS Flame maple 5 string

"As New" Ken Smith BT MS 5 string with flamed maple front an back weighing 10.2 lbs per my digital scales. It has a walnut core and factory HSC with all purchase paperwork. It comes with Smith strap and built in strap locks This bass is flawless and only played on special occasions. Shipping is 75.00 thru USPS, as UPS was charging over 130.00 to ship in US. NO TRADES, and shipping to Continental US. Will take more pictures upon request.

 

Thank you, the economy seems to be funny but stable, there seems to be many incredible deals on Talkbass!

 

Sorry for the delay, I am mourning the loss of my best friend of 14 yrs, my puppy "MAX", and it has been hard to get motivated. I believe it is a late 90's model, I am an old man, and never believed in violating my basses by disassembling them for the sake of curiosity, taking the black off the screw heads and distorting the metal for the sake of taking pictures has never been my thing. I believe that some basses have a magic about them, and to take them apart for someone who may or may not buy the bass is like deflowering a virgin, especially if you are the original owner. I had over 40 basses, now 30 from selling in my retirement, and I have never jacked with a truss rod adjustment. I am lucky enough to have a veteran luthier, who does all my set ups. This particular Ken Smith came from "The Lowend Bass Shop" set up with a high action, and having 3 Lowend Jazz basses, I trust Brian Barrett's set up of this bass. It has been used sparingly, when played around nationally know artists, mostly as a status symbol. It is in pristine condition. Thank you for kind words, I was always horrified to bump or scratch the finish of my new investment, so I never really got to enjoy the bass, It definitely deserves more than C/W music. HA!

 

It also comes with a signature and production date under the black electronics cover secured with black screw heads. I see by your dilig ence you are ready to buy?

 

Thank you for schooling me, and kind words for Max, forgive my attitude as I am not myself. Thank you for looking!
