Nice tone indeed, Chris. A great groove on "Standard Procedure"! And "Can't Hide Love"?
Wow! I'm a blues-player, turned Christian, but I love Jazz music, especially the Rippingtons. Kim Stone is my favorite bassist.
I have a chance to buy a barely-used Black Tiger 4. Trying to work it out financially so I can stand up and be a Smith-owner. Jazz basses have always been in my price range. Currently, I play a 17 year-old Hamer Chapparel bass (mahogany body, bolt-on maple neck). It's time for a replacement. I'm trying to decide between a Victor Bailey Jazz ($2,000) or this guy's Tiger ($3,700). Then I can refinish my Hamer and give it to my son, if he makes it home from Iraq.
Anyway, I'm hoping to become a Smith-man soon. Take care and God bless...

The MD-7 is a heavy bass also. Luckily I can strap her on and play a few tunes - easily. Big Shoulders!
You can hear the tone of this bass well in the below video link.
