Our not yet dearly departed Ronson......
 

Now, ya'll know I'm just trying to be a good steward by planning ahead! :D

Ronson, there's nothing wrong with having a plan in place, besides we dont want you to have to wait in state like Brother James Brown until its decided upon which one of us Tim or I receive the axe. LOL:p

Our not yet dearly departed Ronson......
 

Na, won't be a problem. If the will is probated in Texas and since I live in Texas, the Smith would have to go to me. :cool:

Ya know, I'm happy to have new Ken Smith compadres and all, but...That's just WRONG!! :p

Our not yet dearly departed Ronson......
 

Now Ronson, you know we're just playing with ya. :)

Come on now, Tim...Don't change horses now, just so you can keep me from hauling that baqss in the box with me! I'm up to your tricks!! :D

Tryin' to sweet talk me out of my bass...I ain't havin' it!!

Our not yet dearly departed Ronson......
 

But Ronson, we live so close and there are so many horses which to choose! ;)

Blessings Upon You and Your New Axe
 

Ronson, I'm sure my brother Tim is in agreement with me as I state from the heart Gods blessing upon you and your new "Smith". I pray you minister in music so that others will come into the fold. I believe you will minister to those within the walls of your congregation and without. Be faithful in your calling and allow whats in your heart and mind to flow through the "Smith". Gods annointing upon you my brother. :cool:

Oh yeah!
 

You bet! I am in total agreement!!

Of course you're right, Al! I appreciate the blessing form both you and Tim, and I hope we can all continue to rib & tease each other, as well as share valuable & edifying info with each other for a long time to come!

Blessings to ya'll (that's "Texas talk" to you, Al! ;) )

So tell me.....
 

So, what two Smith basses will be your choice down the road?

That's the question I'll be spending the next few months exploring, Tim. I started a thread in the "Woods & Components" section concerning a couple of the questions I'm beginning to toss around, so please go and contribute to my "enlightenment" when you get the chance.

Right now, I'm leaning towards a six-string (I don't own one, but have one on a long-term loan from a good friend/church member of mine), and some type of fretless, which I've always been intrigued with...:confused:

Future Smiths
 

I'm sorry, I see I didn't ask a clear question, however, I did respond to your new Thread.

Anyway......

What I meant to ask, and assuming you would go with the "neck-thru" models, was which model you are leaning towards (i.e. BSRGN, BSREG, The Elites, Black Tiger, etc..) :rolleyes:

Tim, thanks for responding to my thread! I'm takin' all the info in...

And, right now, I'm leaning toward the Elites!! :D

Now you're talkin.....
 

That's a great direction to lean! :D

Ok, ok I guess I got to get ribbed a bit because I live in the Big Apple, but I'm not from the Big Apple, my roots are planted in Swainsboro Georgia by the way of Garfield GA, my father and mother were born and raised in GA, but later moved to NJ, that's when I came into the picture. I'm actually a NJ boy, I was raised up in a Pentecostal church in NJ . I moved to NY about 3 years ago when I met and married my lovely wife. The things you do for love.:p

A great story, Al. Blessings to you and your family.

So, you're actually a "Southerner" under the guise of a New Yorker, eh? That's good enough for me! :cool:

Yeah but....
 

Yeah, but keep in mind I still live closer!;)

Ronson, today is the 16 of March, have gotten word that your axe is on the way:confused:

Al, I'm going to call Don in a litttle bit and check the status. I was in rehearsal last night and I was imagining having my Smith through these two particular songs (Apostle Donald R. Alford praise tunes).

Man, I am almost giddy with anticipation! :D
