Body sizes?
Hello, how do the size of the actual bodies differ, Im talking about the standard BSR shape. Specifically, is the 6 string body larger than the 5 string?
Also is this the same for the earlier Burner Series as well or are they based on a different template being the difference in string spacing? thanks - Tom |
BSR Sizes....

Whether you are interested in a Smith 6 or 5, I wouldn't let "body size" factor into that decision. The Smith 6 plays really nicely, so, really it's a matter of whether you need a 6 or a 5. Either way, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. |
Yes...

Anyway I am around 5'6 the BSR 5 string size is great I have no issues at all with it (and I am sensitive to that kind of thing, not my height the size of the body :)) it seems like the 6 stringers I see in photos are BIG. again I know its hard to tell from pics..... anyway ... |

Do you like the 2 band EQ on the Burners? From what Ive heard of them ... sound samples and you tube I know not the best way to judge but.... they sounded very nice.

5-6..
The way we build here (not the Burners) the size/width of a bass is determined by the Neck, NOT the Body. Even if it's a bolt-on, the center block or neck running thru the center is what makes it wider or not. The body wings on all BSR models are the same and universal to go on any model, 4, 5, 6 or 7 string. The BT models have the same deal going with the BT wings.
The Burners are basically the same principal as well being that the continuation of the neck determines how wide the bass is overall. On a BSR or BT wide model we make the 5-wide in 19mm spacing with 10mm nut spacing instead of 9-18mm spacing. The wide model 5-string Bass will be 4mm wider overall then the normal 9-18mm model. A 6-wide will be 5 mm wider between the 18-19mm model as well. http://www.kensmithbasses.com/options.html .. Scroll down for spacings. The Wide model is not listed there, sorry. |
Well....

Between a 5-string and a 6-string if they are both our standard 18mm then the 6-string is one string wider which is 18mm at the bridge end and 9 mm at the nut end. One string wider end to end. |
