I've got some "HTTP 500 Server Error" that pops up everytime I try and upload photos I've taken of it, so I'll try and figure that out soon so I can show it here, and upgrade my avatar.

Ken, thank you for such a fine instrument. Of all the basses I've played and handled, this is the most beautiful I've ever held. I plan on getting another Smith or two ASAP to add to my collection, but I'm sure that this first one will be with me until I leave this earth. It's special to me.

Also, thanks to Don! And thanks for the "special attention" you paid to a first time customer. I'm enjoying everything!

beautiful bass!

do they not make the inlayed strap locks anymore?
