New KSD?

[Edwin Movintoch]

Will there be a new KSD?
I saw a picture of the KSD 6 string with a KS head.
Will you change the head of the KSD? Or is this a custom serie?
Have you change the Pickups?

A lot of questions..........

And no answers yet. It's still in the works. Brooklyn Gear will make the announcement when they have something new that is actually available.

Ken,
I am praying that this is the relaunch of the burner series, I had asked about when I got my BT.

Who are you Praying to? I think parting the Red Sea or re-doing the Burner Bass is even money at this time.

Buy a Lottery ticket. The odds are much better..:D

Don't forget thet the KSD's are a product by Brooklyn Gear and not by Ken Smith Basses. I just consult and design on the KSD project, period!

If that one comes through I'm thinking presentation grade or 2 :D a man can dream

I would buy the 60's 6 string and a 70's 6 if they come out.

without hesitation. Even with the KS headstock. Adds a little of that head turning thing to it.:)

Just add about 2 or 3 more frets:D :p

tell me the bass review if someone has bought this 6string KSD;)

(IMHO) the head stock design i think it's great and distinctive, different from ordinary Jazz bass style design it's really innovative :cool:

I went to my favorite used music store and tried a 5 string KSD - natural with maple neck. It played very well - sounded great - like a F..... bass. The only down point was the bottom edge of the frets - they are a little sharp (needs filing down and dressing I guess). So if all goes as plan - I will have a normal 5-string. I think it has the better pre-amp.

There were some bass players asking about the new KSD 6 string. So the word is on the street about them.

Bass Players unite...

I have an MP3 clip of me with the KSD in one of the groups I perform with. I am using the KSD 705 with the Mark Bass LMKII and two 8ohmn cabinets.

Please disregard the mistakes --- just check out the tone of the bass.
(disregard the screaming drummer - music is like a 150 proof Jim Bean for him)

The KSD has a different sound to it - because of the scale length. Even acoustically is sounds different that 34 Jazz style bass.

Merry Christmas to all...

My KSD 705j bass is gone. Traded for another today. It was a good bass, but not a true Ken Smith Bass; however very well done.
