What to order for my next Ken Smith
Hey all, just looking for some advice on my next Ken Smith bass. I already have a BSR5J-MW, which I love. I'll pass this one down to my kids in another 20 years or so :)
I love the feel of my BSR5J, and I have liked every neck-through I have had the pleasure to play (at the store). I know I'll be pleased with whatever I decide on! I'm horrid at describing sound qualities, but I'll give it a shot. I want a somewhat thick tone, with plenty of low-mid growl. I also want plenty of snap. I plan to use it jack-of-all-trade style, everything from jazz to rock. Slap tone is also important. |
Which model are you considering?

Necessary is a subjective thing. Are you going to notice a huge difference between the 3 piece and 5 piece bodies? No.
But that's kinda like buying a Porsche and debating if you should pay a little more to get the sun roof. Go for it! We could all play on $200 pos basses, that's all that is "necessary". You're looking for a quality instrument, for a quality musician.. The 5/7 piece options are mostly cosmetic, but it does make a bit of difference in tone and a huge difference in overall beauty of the bass (to me at least, I love the look of the 5 and 7 piece bodies) |
