Hmmm.... and I was just looking at the bill of sale for it a few weeks ago. I'd say I bought this in 1996.
That's a testament of what a great bass it is. It looked like one I saw on eBay recently.

Okay here's a big club number update, should be up to date now. Just let me know if I missed or double counted anyone. Man I have Smith GAS again now after going through all the beautiful pics of your basses in the thread...I'm keeping my eye out for a cocobolo or zebrawood 5 string...
SlapinFunk, the club is all yours now!
I have a Cocobolo/Walnut 6 string.
How long did it take your Smith basses to break in, for the woods to settle?
Thank you Vision, I hope to keep the club running strong!
