MY NEW KEN SMITH HAS ARRIVED

[Bassflute]

Well after about 5 and a half months, my new Ken Smith has arrived. This is my 4th one, but my first neckthrough, and the first one made with my choice of woods. It is a Bubinga top and back with a walnut core. Let me know what you think.

A bevy of MTD's & Smith's: must be nice to be rich!

What's it like?

You'll have to change your last name to Bowlus!

Congrats,

I enjoy Ken Smith's work. I don't know why i've never owned one... come close, but never followed through.

Amazing bass man, enjoy!

Show-off!!

 

[JOME77]

Awesome looking bass!

Smith's sit so well in the mix.

Congratulations!

 

[john turner]

wow, that looks fantastic.

That's one of the nicest Smith's I've ever seen...I LOVE that top!

And you're right about Smith's fitting in perfectly in the Gospel world...

If you ever get a chance to play one don't pass it up. I play Gospel, and the Ken Smith sound is all over the place in almost every recording. I have been hired for gigs because I was playing a Ken Smith. In the world of Gospel if you have a Ken Smith, an MTD, and you can play the songs, you will always be able to find work.

That is SOOOO true!!
Especially here in Detroit.

Show up with a Jazz Bass and they look at you like this:

Wow, simply wow... 4th one huh? I'm still trying to get to my first one.

Congrats Bro!

Stunning! I had an older Smith for a very short while a few years ago, and I regret returning it BIG TIME! I can't think of another bass that sounds quite like a Smith. Absolutely great basses!

 

[Daniel L.]

Beautiful!

What made you choose the walnut core? How does it compare to other Smith's you've had (assuming they had different core woods)?

My dream bass is a KS BlackTiger elite 5. Verrrrrry nice BTW.

Beautiful and congratulations! I became a Smith owner a couple of weeks ago and it played its first gig last weekend.

Question: do you find much difference between the neck through and bolt on Smiths?

That is SOOOO true!!

Really!??!! wow. What about the MIK MTD's?

Back on topic.... Stunning bass. I bet the top looks even more three dimensional in person.

LOL I am far from being rich. My debt just looks good.

I saw one that was listed on the Ken Smith website and thought it looked cool. When I called I asked about the Bubinga / Walnut combination. I told them I wanted an articulate sound with some high end bite, and they said that would be a good combination.

That is too funny!... but TRUE!

That's a great looking bass. I definitely have Ken Smith on the radar... after I establish the MTD collection.

Congrats!
