That was indeed a Ken Smith built to Chuck Rainey's specifications. It was made in the mid to late Nineties, as far as I know.
Funny how we see things differently. I thought the polar opposite. Finally! A review that is FUN as well as informative. I could hang out with that guy easy. (Bonus points for saying "Kin Smiff" about a hundred times.)
Every Ken Smith I have ever played has been totally awesome and smoked all the other basses in that category of "costs way too much money". The most recent one was a custom made Burner 5 that had J pickups but yet still had incredible midrange presence and never got too harsh in the upper registers.
He is not everyone's cup of tea, but I think he is entertaining, and I get to hear some incredible basses in the process.
