The Ken Smith Club

[DrGroovenstein]

I thinking of giving the burner strings a shot, my Elite is pretty bright with over-the-top bite (maybe due to the lacquer finish).

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

I always wanted a burner... but the string spacing is too close for me...

 

[DrGroovenstein]

Here's my pair.

Vision (greenbass #10) already a member. Just added another one to the collection.

Gotcha, edited. Man both of yours are really nice!

 

[kerrycares]

Jason.........thanks for posting the pics.Ken is refinishing/restoring my bass. dress frets, refin, new pre, polish hardware, set up...........as you can see from the pics,the bass was pretty beat up.

 

[rodneyat]

Here's my pair.

One of those looks VERY familiar.

 

[jebmd]

I really dig the Ebony....

 

[DrGroovenstein]

+1! From that picture you can really see the difference between the 18mm spacing neck and the 19mm spacing neck. Pretty big difference!

 

[Hollywars]

A Burner, but it's still a Ken Smith. I have another one in similar translucent red. PM me my number please.

[T-MOST]

I just received this BSRGN 5 (9/5/08) today! I'm ready to be counted.

 

[Shelly]

Hey!

I need a number, too. I just grabbed a BSR6EG. I can post a pic later, although vision already knows what it looks like

 

[JOEP054]

Count me in please. Here is a picture of my Black Tiger Elite 6. A Ken Smith club, is there anything cooler to be in? Peace.

 

[jebmd]

Those are sweet!

 

[SLaPiNFuNK]

Count me in please. Here is a picture of my Black Tiger Elite 6. A Ken Smith club, is there anything cooler to be in? Peace.

that looks like a Fusion Elite to me with 7 piece neck & Body!!

THATS A RARE BEAUTY!

 

[JOEP054]

Mine isn't the "Fusion Elite" model but it was special ordered with the 7 piece body and neck option. I originally purchased one of these without the upgraded neck option and loved it so much that I bought another with the upgrades. The attachment is of the original purchase.

I do believe the "Fusion Elite" model is Ken's 25th anniversary model but I may be wrong on that. I do have one of his 20th anniversary models with a flamed redwood top in a 4 string version which I understand is pretty rare which is my favorite 4 string bass.

Love all my Smiths with the stable currently holding 6 of them, two 4 stringers and four 6 stringers at the moment, but I am always on the hunt for another good one. Would love to land a sixer with an ebony top!!
