The brilliance is still there but matured. That's all we can do or say from reading your post. Only with the bass in my hands can I really do anything about it.
Hearing JP on a 1985 Smith on a recording is not the same as playing the same bass in your house.

Hello Mr.Smith,
Having the Smith bass serviced and fixed to Ken Smith LTD is a great idea.
However, when you live in Europe all things came very uncertain and cloudy considering that only the two ways shipment cost about 700$, the bass must pass two times the border from Europe to USA, etc.
So, my question now: Is it any procedure (some agreed carrier for shipment, custom declaratios, etc) we have to follow here in Europe in order to send the bass to you, have it serviced and receiving it back?
I am asking you because I suppose you have experienced this kind of problem during your long relationship with european musicians or dealers.
Thank you and best regards
