I'm just now seeing this. A friend and I visited the shop in Novemeber 2006. I had a great time on the tour of the building and seeing how the basses were made. I didn't even own a Smith at the time and didn't actually buy one till a year later when I was in a better financial position to do so. Even though I wasn't yet an owner and wasn't buying at the time Ken still took the time to talk with me and my friend and we were treated very kindly by all the staff.
When I buy my next Smith I want to do so at the shop and if my Smith ever needs some TLC I plan to take it to the shop myself and spend a few days on the east coast if I have too.
