Hard to tell exactly from the picture. Either Walnut or Mahogany.

Hi!

Here's some pics of my 6-strings:

-90 BT6 (could someone tell me the correct model name?)


-03 BSR6GN







And my newest BSR5M (is that the correct name for it?) from -01.

"Correct model name"? I'd say BT6. What does the serial number say?

Thumbs up My 2 BSR 5EG's

Hi Tim, and everyody else off course!

As promissed a picture of the BSR 5EG FX I've traded for my Alembic
and my other BSR 5EG.
Without any doubt the best basses I've ever played.
That means the sound as well as playability and looks!
Really amazing! Keep up the good work Ken!
And thanks Rainer for introducing me to Smith Basses!

Greetz,
Dirk

Thumbs up Nice!

Hi Dirk,

The basses look great. However, I clicked on the pictures, but I am unable to see the larger view of your basses. Seems to be something wrong with the ability to view your pics in a larger view. Could it be the image is too large either in file size or dimension? I'll try again later.

Tim B.

I'm getting the same results as before when I click on the thumbnails in your original post (post no. 376). However, your links you provided in your follow-up reply are working fine.

I'm curious. Above you describe as "BSR 5EG FX": Where are you seeing or getting "FX"? Serial No.?

Have not posted my pic in a while. Better get to work on some action shots though.

New member here. Found this beauty literally abandoned in a long time closed to public second hand musicstore. Burner Custom Red. Hope you enjoy!
Amazing how the red turns into orange against the light... sexiness...

Thank God, at last I have the bass of my dreams, the sound I was looking for. Thank you very much to Ken Smith for this masterpiece. God Bless you.


Greetings !!
