Ken, I know you don't get too involved in conversations about these KSD because they are sold by Brooklyngear, and I know you just advise them on the design etc, but I must say I think it is too bad that you don't, because your ideas for this bass is outstanding. I know you have plenty of work with your Ken Smith basses, I have owned a few of them also, but I wish you did make a jazz bass copy made and serviced by you. If the KSD is an indication of just how great a Fender copy Jazz made by you would be, it would be well worth it IMO.

Thanks for the compliments. In this Fender cloning business I try to stay as far away as possible from it. Helping Brooklyn Gear with the designs of the KSD models is about as close as I want to get to anything Fender-like.
