No......
 

No, I wouldn't say it's a Smith and I would attribute this to simply a lack of knowledge of the Smith bass in this area. I don't see one dominant choice at this time. At least not yet. Ken, are you reading this???

I am doing my part though to convert and it is having some impact! ;) Locally, I get calls from players interested in Smiths through those that know me and know I play Smiths exclusively. Given the extensive collection I have and have had, I have been able to fix them up! :)

Also, with the exposure I get playing and recording, I connect with those curious about my choice in bass. Of course, while they can see and hear the difference, I do share my feelings on the matter......:rolleyes: I even get calls from outside the state of Texas for the same reasons I stated above!

That was the original intent of my question, since I have been playing exclusively "Smith" basses, all my fellow bassist from neighboring churches have had an increased interest in "Smith" basses. They love the rich smooth sound that eludes from my WBT 5 Elite and they love the neck through design. In NY Ken Smith is very well known.

New Born "Smith"
 

Ronson what's the latest? is the new born "Smith" on its way :confused:

Still waiting....
 

At this time, Ronson is still in the 'patiently waiting' mode. Bridge not in yet. :(

Next Project
 

Thanks Tim, What's next on the schedule for your "Smith" axes ? are you back in the shed or the studio? also do you have any samples or mpegs posted anywhere so I can check out the master in action? Break a brother off a little sample.

What's next???
 

What's next? Other than playing weekly, nothing else in the works at this time. I've been busy this past several weeks with the purchase of some land (for future use). Just closed this past Wednesday, so, now it's back to the Bassics of life. Sorry, no samples to "break-off" at this time. ;)

Congrats on owning a piece of the rock, nothing like cutting your own grass, I assume the purchase is in the buckeye state. Well I got to get ready for P&W this palm Sunday so I'll get at ya later. Gods blessings upon you and yours.
Al :rolleyes:

Buckeye State?
 

The Buckeye State? Why would you assume this? :confused:

Ok, my demograhics must be off, what's Texas referred as? :confused:

Well.....
 

Well, it's funny you referred to the "Buckeye State" because I am from Ohio and I don't know how you could have possibly known that. :confused:

I think Texas is known as the "Hotter-Than-Hell" State....... :eek: .......better known as the "Lone Star State".

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaa! I was just thinking that today...87 degrees! :eek:

Tim/Ronson I guess I put myself on blast on that one, things have been really crazy lately for the old NY boy, Just remember though I live in NY, I'm a country boy. Pray for me I need the prayers of the faithful right about now, It seems to be my season to weather the storm.
Al :o

Great News
 

I got the call today my CR 6 six string bass is on it's way home to Papa :D

I Got Your Back, Al!
 

Hey Al, I'm praying for you right now...

And, I got the call as well...My newest girl (Ken Smith Bass) is on the way! Photos to follow ASAP...:cool:

Well, well......
 

Well, well, I suspect we have a couple happy men this week, huh?? :D:D

Halleluhah
 

I receive that, and believe it as well, Ronson I don't know who I should be happier for you or myself, how about both. I thank you for your prayer I know it works I can feel the burden lifting as I type this response. I know the new "Smith" with be ministering as soon as this weekend. God had it planned that you should receive it in his appointed time.

A word and reminder......
 

Always remember!

Php 4:6......Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. ;)

I constantly have to remind myself of this! :rolleyes:

Excellent verses for me to reflect on, thank you for your wisdom and direction. I need to take a step back and let God do what he does best.
Al :)

Excellent verse indeed, Tim. And,, may I add, an excellent response to the heart of the verse, Al! ;)

By the way, my Smith is in my town...somewhere! :cool:

Gratitude for True Fellowship
 

Its a great thing when men can fellowship one with another, I thank God for my newly founded "Smith" brothers.
Your wisdon, knowledge and bass skills collectively have enriched my life since inception. I thank you for who you both are.
Al :)
