With all the clubs that we have on here I am surprised that there isn't a club for Ken Smith owners. So let's see the basses! Here's mine, a 2008 BSR5GN with black crotch walnut and tiger maple:

I'm in!!! I was wondering when someone would start a Ken Smith Club! Here's my 2007 Black Tiger 5, courtesy of Dan Lenard of Luthiers Access Group. Thanks, Vision for starting us out!


A Groove is a Terrible Thing to Waste! :cool:

Have you played many Smiths? Mine is the only one I've ever played.

Yep, I've played many of them over the years. Smiths are very consistent in tone, regardless of the woods used. They all have that great Smith tone. It's the exact opposite from MTD's which sound really different depending on the woods used.
