Anyone have Gas for a Ken Smith 6 string?

A while back I did. I even bought a BSR6M. Ended up not liking it. It had elements of the Smith tone I loved but for some reason just didn't match all the clips and vids I'd been watching of Smith basses. The low end was just too big and boomy. Didn't have as much of that sweet top end as I like either. I couldn't figure it out. Maybe I just got a dud. I sent it back for a refund. That's just the way it goes when you can't try before you buy!

Oh well, though I love listening to 6-string players this experience proved to me that I'm just not a 6 player.
 
Yes! Well, actually it can be a Smith, MTD, Fodera or some other high end bass that slips my mind at the moment.

I sold my 6-string Carvin earlier this year to get my J5... Also because I thought I wasn't into the 6 any longer, I tell myself that when I can get another 6 it'll be a major one like the companies I mentioned above. :bassist:
 
Hmmm... Maybe this thread would've made sense had I remembered the link...

The whole reason I started this thread was to point out the bass that I found for sale on craigslist... Whoops!
