Nice piece of history there! It does look amazing for being 24 years old!

I just came across these pics today. This was my first Smith, 1985 Set Neck, Passive Electronics. I bought it new and owned it for 20 years, had to let it go to get my 5 String Smith.

This is my beloved 1990 BT5 Custom. This bass changed my world!

After searching for a used smith for ages i decided to buy a new one from bass central, i dont have it yet but hopefully next week it'll be here with me in the isle of wight in england,
These are pics that mike sent to me from bc of my bt6 tnv, i'll take some more when it arrives, It should be a great companion for my fretless thumb

Default 85 Ken Smith BT 5 G & 1995 Ken Smith BMT 4 Cocobolo

Take a look at my super rare ken smith collection. The 85 is the first shedua bass ken ever did and there are less than a handful of BMTs that were made in a 4 string. This one is a super rare cocobolo top and back with mahogany core. The sweetest sounding four you will ever play.

I agree. Have you seen a Smith with the Dunlop bridge Bob?

What was your experience with bass central? Did you get a good deal?
