Me and My Baby
 
Here is a new pic to enjoy. Me and my baby at a small Gospel concert holding down the low end. 2007 BSR6EG 5A Quilted Maple, 5p Neck, 7p Wings.

She'll never leave me, cheat on me, or do me wrong and she makes sweet sounds as I put my fingers all over her. Thats my baby!!!

What is that? Quilted Maple? It's certainly popping out. Lovely!

Bob Faulkner 05-27-2009 11:43 AM
It looks almost like a tiger quilt. It's stunning though. Treat her well my friend!

Tim Bishop 05-27-2009 01:58 PM
5A Quilt....
 
Maybe we should call it a 5A Flamed Quilted Maple :).

Well, we do come across pieces that look spiral at an ankle and we call that Quilted Flame but this one looks more like what we call 'Cigar Quilt' where the wide figure looks like Cigar paper unraveling. Truly a stunning piece of wood.

Cigar Quilt Tobacco-less smokin' Bass. The healthiest way.. lol

Tim Bishop 05-27-2009 02:16 PM
Lol!

Hard to tell exactly from the picture. Either Walnut or Mahogany.

Jonny Blomgren 10-08-2009 03:50 PM
If I remember correctly it's mahogany.

Not really. :)
Know three others owned by fellow bassplayers over here (a -90 BT5, BSR5EG and another BSR6GN).
Seen one other for sale through the years (yet another BSR6).

Time went by and I grew older... and too little time playing my Smith bass. Wish I could work less with TV production and more with music. Otherwise life is great...

Where did you get yours? I got my BSR6GN at West LA Music when I was there visiting my brother.

Here is my CR-6. The serial number is CR6MQ51296.

It has been upgraded with the 18V KS preamp.

The letter Q in the serial means something or is just part of the serial number?

Tim Bishop 10-26-2009 08:51 PM
