I am not complaining, but would like to know what it is that I have, and it's price range as far as KS basses go, and if it is on the upper end or lower end of KS basses. Thanks for any info !
Well, your serial number would reveal more information about the bass. The neck is a 3 pc. maple with a Pau Ferro fretboard. Never saw a Smith 4 pc. or 1 pc. neck. Based on the pics (a side view would be helpful), looks like a 3 pc. body: Maple top and back with a walnut core. This model is one of the BT models: Which one, I'm not sure. Again, the serial number would be helpful. Look at the end of the fretboard or inside back cover for serial number.

Nice bass!
