1st Ken Smith Bass just can't wait
 

Hi, this is my 1st post and the soon to be new owner of BSR 6 Full Elite specs with 5A quilted/flamed or cigar maple top/back with mahogany core, 5pc neck etc etc.
Just placed my order about 3 weeks ago and just can't wait to get my hands on this masterpiece instrument! I had been looking to purchase a high end bass and ran across Ken Smith Basses on YouTube and just fell in love with the sound and looks of these fine crafted instruments. Now it's just a matter of time 3 to 5 months seems likes it's an eternity but I know that it will be worth the time!!!

Special thanks to Mr. Ken Smith that was able to guide me in the right path and was able to translate my thoughts into the instrument that I am looking for.

Congrats!
 

I can assure you, you won't be disappointed. :cool:

Be careful man. I only wanted one, I have three.

Thanks Tim! I am sure it will be worth the wait!
And just like Desmund mentioned I haven't gotten my hands on the bass and am already looking at my next Smith. I think that these bad boys are addicting.

Addicting?
 

Addicting? If you only knew. :D:);)

Ummmm!
 

:confused:
Am thinking about the White Tiger could be next....

Your thoughts?

Thoughts?
 

Thoughts? You can't go wrong with any Smith. Trust me. ;)

Your getting the best

Thanks Lou! Just can't wait

Got the Email
 

We'll just wanted to up date the status of my bass, as yesterday afternoon I received the great news that my bass is ready and final set up will be done early next week to be shipped!:D.
I asked Ken to send me a couple of pictures as unfortunately I won't be back home to (USA) until after the holidays due to work and curiosity would just drive me nuts not been able to at least see my 1st KSB (already looking at my next which is going White Tiger Elite).
Once I receive the pictures hopefully on Monday I will post to get your feedback...
Am feeling like a newly proud parent wanting to show off his new offspring!!! :o:o lol

Here it is...
 

We'll just got a couple of pics of the bass in Ken's Bench getting the final set up...

Let me know what u guys think...

Thanks and proud new owner of KSB

Yeppers...
 

Wouldn't have expected anything less. Congrats, Bro!

Thanks Tim! Now I have to escape for a couple of days from work to pick it up as I know that I won't be able to wait until after the holidays.

Very nice, congrats on your new bass!

Thanks Gary! Here's another pic....

Congrats! There is nothing like a Smith.

If I ever buy another Smith, it will be Quilted Maple top and probably Walnut Core. Either Walnut or Mahogany.

This is what I want next. It will be my third.

That's Nice!!!
 

Nick that Avodire Top is great looking! I was actually looking at the wood for my second Smith but have decided to go with Ebony Top 6FEG!
Post some pics once you get it...

Good luck!

figured avodore'
 

Avodire' with figure like this is quite rare. Usually, if the log is figured it is sold off for Veneer at a higher price than if sold for lumber. To find actual wood/lumber with figure in the Avodire' is not easy to find. We've had only a few pieces that were highly figured. The rest of the load was medium figured or just ribbon grain.
