Well, from what I read from the serial number, it is a Smith 6-String Bass - "M" Series; Made in 1999; Has the 9V pre-amp; Tiger Maple Body. Ken may have to correct or provided additional information from his records.

thanks 4 help

but...
 

In 1999 when your bass was made the circuit was the 9v unit. The specs page only shows the current model specs.

Ken , talking about sound 9v and 18v any notable diference , its posible upgrade?

yes..
 

1- The build structure is different.

2- The 18v model takes 2 batteries and they drain together as one.

3- The frequency settings for the boost/cut points have 4 positions INSIDE the bass that can be 'carefully' adjusted by taking the plate off. It can be broken from misuse or careless handling as well. The 9v settings are within this switch system as well. The pre-set when we install or sell the unit is set differently from the 9v 'fixed' settings.

4?
 

Am I missing something here? Are you talking about the DIP Switches? If so, there are 6 positions.

Btw....
 

BTW - Is anything available from the manufacturer that would detail the frequency ranges for the 6 individual DIP switches?

Ahh...
 

Ahh, I think I see what you are saying. You must be talking about the 4 setting options within the Bass, Mid, and Treble ranges that are adjusted via the 6 DIP switches. Correct?

Here it is....
 

Here's the information and settings that identify "Original (9V)" and "New (18V)" settings:

thanks for help

Dip Switches
 

When....
 

I believe it was 2004 when Ken came out with the 18V pre-amp and DIP Switch opton.

2004
 

The new 18v unit came out in 2004 on the 25th anniversary models and within that year became standard on all models. As far as sound changes, it depends on how you set it and how you eq. it. If you play with the bass flat, then it's the same. If you set it to the old 9v settings, then it's the same as well.

How?
 

How? By changing the DIP Switch positions for Bass, Mid, and Treble. You'll have to experiment with these settings and let your ear make the final decision on preferred settings.
