Ken Smith BT M series. Rough ish shape. It’ll sell quickly for 2-2.5K or you can hold out for 3-3.25K
Price will be affected if you had to drill holes for the new bridge. If drop in and original can go back then value doesn’t take a hit

That is a very nice bass to have "passed on to you"
I hope you have fun playing it and I can second the motion to convert that bridge back to the original Ken Smith version.
The Ken Smith bridge is very cool IMHO. Why did you change it?
Nice score.

It's an "entry level" Smith if there is such a thing, but still hand made in Pennsylvania. Possibly by the man himself. They sound fantastic and values (which were always on the high side) have been climbing recently. Very nice piece, enjoy it!
My 90's Smith had a label inside the control cover that stated the model and build date, and sign-off by Ken.
