SOLD Ken Smith BSR 5 $2300 REDUCED!!!

Trying to cull the herd a bit.

Super nice '99 BSR 5, JJ (V, P, T, M, B), 9v preamp, walnut on maple with headstock overlay, 3 piece neck, pau ferro board. My scale says 9.2. Spacing is typical Smith(18mm?)
Sounds huge! Does everything a Smith is supposed to do! I didn't get a case with it. I will try to find something that fits it.
No international sale. Not into trades, but you never know... If it's not a 5 or longer than 34" don't bother. Maybe a Pedulla MVP to go with my Penta?

Thanks for looking!

 

It's my second one. I love it, I just can't justify keeping it right now. I know I'll have another!

 

They're are stock Jazz type single coils. To me they sound very aggressive, very sharp and focused. I can get it to cut through the mix just by ramping up my attack. Yet it sits nicely in the mix for the Motown thing I've been doing, super versatile! Wish I had some clips. Haven't done a side by side with soaps. I imagine they would be equally usable, just different. Fwiw, I only ever noticed hum with the treble up, even then it was more of a hiss and didn't affect tone or the mix.

 

Was just informed these are dual coil pickups. Thanks again Chuck! Certainly explains the lack of hum

 

On hold.

 

Bass is available again.

 

Dropped price to $2600+shipping.
