I'm a fan of the BSR because of it's more modern looks. I like the fusion as well but the BSR gets my #1 vote. I'm not really into vintage so the BT comes in last for me. However, I'll take a...

Ken Smith Players Should Play Other Basses

i believe those of us who have played Smith basses for a while take for granted how great they sound. I was out playing my mom's old 1980-something P-Bass and I'm thinking to myself, "this sounds...
