Wood combinations on Smith basses
I agree. Cocobolo top and back with a soft wood, makes for a nice low end with the sparkle in the high freqs. My MD7 has this combination of woods, incredible instrument.

Smith 7-string Headstock length
I almost had the problem with the headstock - but the problem was really the other musician standing too close to me.

Genz Benz 12.0 with Aguilar 2x12
I recently played through a bass rig with the Shuttle 12.0 and 2x12 Aguilar. Wow! This amp really fills up a space nicely and not too big.

Tone is in your touch & technique

This appears to be Rare Ken Smith Bass
This appears to be one of those Smith Basses that are rare, low production numbers, and will always retain its value - like all Smith Basses.

Wow - that would be a nice option...
