Smith Soaps vs. J's ... opinions?
Hello, Im currently looking for a Smith Bass, I am looking hard at the BSR J models, I have owned a BSR-MW with soapbars and it was not working out for me, I loved the bass, the feel...etc. I guess I need that J type of tone or some thing like. Maybe its a single coil thing, Being able to dial back to the bridge for that tight articulate/warmth.
I was hoping to find out the difference in sound between the soapbars and the J type pickups. Are there any sound samples you could point me to? And yes I do own a Jazz bass but want the Smith refinements, I am looking forward to coming back.... perhaps a Burner? thanks in advance - Tom |

I think the Jazz set up is a light clear sound, but lacks the fullness of soaps.
But, with the KS electronics I think you can dial in any sound you like. http://www.kensmithbasses.com/models...r5jmodel2.html |

I actualy meant "light". To my ear the Jazz bass sound lacks some of the fullness and roundness of soaps. That may be different on a KS? |

So many variables with tone; wood, neck, pickups, strings, etc. So it could have been something other than the pickups. |
