Smith's are versatile things..

Hi Bob,
This is personal I guess, somehow I expected this
from you hehe
I respect your choice of instrument and music you choose to play ofcourse. It's only my opinion a Ken Smith sounds great in a gospel/Rn'B setting, as it is in latin, jazz and soul... music wich I like very much.
I like the instrument very much, but to my taste it's not suited for absolutely everything, I have more instruments to suit my tastes for sertain situations. As I'm sure other people have other instruments aswell exept Smith axes.
Again I'm not saying what you do would not fit ofcourse, I think you do a great job in making a great portion of the sound of your band!
One thing I can say is a Smith has a very distinct caracter, I can't say that for other brands that much... exept maybe music man/gibson thunderbird/older Fender basses, I think that's a good thing!
