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?

Hi guys,

I'm new at the forum.
I'm a young belgian bassplayer and this is my 1989 Ken Smith BT5EG with Morado top, Walnut back, Mahogany core and ebony fretboard.

I love this bass, I wanted one ever since i saw my teacher's BT6EG.
It plays great, and sounds great.
There's just a little problem with the electronics, it's playable but i get this hum when i play passive (so i don't ) but all this should be sorted out when i buy a new electronics retrofit from Ken Smith.

(sorry for the greasy fingers! i took these pictures after playing for a while)

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