Many country artists are and have been backed up with a Smith bass, Reba, Tanya Tucker, Boots Randolph with Tim Smith on bass, David Allen Coe, Lori Morgan etc.. Most of them I have seen in concert and the bass cut right thru..
Gospel players, Latin players, Greek players, Japanese players.. lol... Bb is Bb. Doesn't matter the music. We make professional basses. I don't care who uses them.
Phil Lesh bought 3, John Entwistle bought one, Stanley Clarke BOUGHT 4 basses from me and so on..
Please let me know when this Audition is over!.. Please..
One last comment on this is that many Smith players are professionals and do not spend time on Forums or YouTube. They are busy touring and making 'real' records. Like them, for 20 years my personal tax return said 'Professional Musician' as what I did for a living. I make tools for guys that need them because, I know what they need having been there personally.

Ken....I am only kidding around. lol. I knew it was Manhattan. I actually meet you in Washington. I used to work for Henry and Mark in the machine shop. Do you remember them? I think at that time you were talking about moving to Pennsylvannia. I only worked there until 1994 though.
That is a very impressive list of customers.
