Default My Very First Ken Smith Is On It's Way-i Am So Blessed!!!

I AM ABSOULTELY THRILLED THAT MY VERY FIRST KEN SMITH IS ON IT'S WAY-AND IT'S A BLACK TIGER 5!!!!!!!! I really had no intentions on getting a Black Tiger. While waiting for my 2000 Warwick Thumb 5 BO and my 1983 Alembic Spoiler 4 to sell, I hoping to get enough cash together to buy a BSR5GN. I have no doubt that GOD had MUCH BIGGER PLANS and led me to visit Dan Lenard's Luthiers Access Group website. And there it was- a 2007 Ken Smith Black Tiger 5-FOR LESS THAN I WAS GOING TO PAY FOR A BSR5GN!!!!! Dan was very patient and went the extra mile by waiting for my basses to sell on ebay!!!! Dan Lenard is a class act!!!!! THANK GOD FOR KEN SMITH AND DAN LENARD!!!!

In the excitement, I forgot to post pictures of my bass.

I finally received my Smith!!!!! My expectations were very high and I must say, they have been exceeded!!!!! This is one of the few basses that I purchased before playing it and my very first time ever playing a Smith. The sound, playability and craftsmanship are JUST PLAIN AWESOME!!! I have been extremely blessed to have what I consider to be some very high-quality basses, including an Alembic Spoiler, a Warwick Thumb 5 BO and a Peavey Cirrus. MY KEN SMITH BLACK TIGER 5 IS, HANDS DOWN, THE BEST BASS THAT I HAVE EVER OWNED OR PLAYED!!!!
