My first experience was at the Bass Centre when they were still based in Wapping.
They had an ebony faced BT6 for sale and it was pretty much love at first site - an instrument that lived up to all my expectations in every way (which is a rare thing). It was the only bass I'd ever wanted as much as my then current instrument, a Jaydee (which I still own and is still a killer bass but the Smith is warmer and fuller.)
I knew at that point that a Smith bass was going to be the ultimate modern bass, for me.
