SOLD Ken Smith BSRB Custom 5 string bass

Body is in mint condition. Pickups were swapped out for Barts (bought it that way). Don't have original pups.
Slight hum in electronics. Original BSR B case but not the original case to this bass. Weighs 8.5 lbs. Neck and setup are great. Great B string. Custom models have Walnut or Tiger Maple bodies and 5 piece necks.

PayPal preferred.

USA sales only

 

Some last bit of info. I think the hum is in the pickups as it is there with the preamp bypassed. It does come in and out as you move the bass around. If I were buying this bass I would buy a set of Smith pups for it and put it back to its original condition. It's really a great bass with a great neck and B string and superlight at only 8.5 lbs.

 

This is my " I really don't want to mess with getting new pickups and fixing the hum, I'd rather someone else do it" bump.

Last price drop before I just pull the ad and bite the bullet,
fix it up and put it on ebay.

No this isn't a Burner. Check the link above for info. This one has the offset bodyshop making it much better balanced than the Burners.

 

Sorry but you are incorrect. The link says exactly what the differences are between the Burner and BSRB and it isn't " just the name ". It is the body shape and headstock that differentiate the two. It has the more ergonomic offset body while the Burner has a symmetrical body. The BSRB is much better balanced. This is the Custom model with walnut body and five-piece neck.

There NOW you're an expert

 

Yes, this is imported from Japan like the Burners.

 

Thought I would resurrect this one.


Still for sale.

Called Ken Smith aout the pickups and he said he didn't
really like "his" pickups in these. He didn't make them and he just seemed not thrilled. He said the Barts probably make the bass sound better.

So how about a CRAZY price drop to

$1200.00 shipped lower 48

 

On a scale of 1-10 with 1 being just audible it's probably a 2. Of course it's subjective.

 

As I'm sitting here evaluating its hum level I'm having second thoughts, This thing sounds and plays really nice. Hmmm...

 

Would entertain trades for:

Laklands
Epifani cabs
Bergantino cabs
Ampeg SVP-CL preamp
