You went over to Talkbass and in two different threads, two different sections you drug me thru the mud in public. I may not be able to post over there but I can read!

It would be nice if you went over there and let them know what I told you was 100% true and accurate and no ones fault, especially mine and how things worked out.

I am glad to hear everything worked out.

Ken I appologize if i offended U in anyway, but i didnt say anything negative about ur work,.. and they almost banned me because of a comment i wrote about the fodera butterfly (which they edited, check the thread "how to dry a bass"), which it was real funny, but its insane the different opinions of people on this subject...God!! Ken im saving for a new one, and ill be callin you soon hopefully later this year, please understand, a smith bass was a dream for me since i used to live in Ecuador, there was only one smith bass in the city and it belonged to the biggest church in town, i was 15 when i saw and heard that bass nobody knew what brand was it, the only known brands in the country was fender and ibanez,..every musician used to go to that church just to see and hear that smith, and the worst happen!!! it got stolen man!!!! i live in NY now and my old friends still dont belive I own a S now! thank you Sir

I wasn't offended personally at all. I was just helpless in defending myself on Talkbass since I am banned over there. It's a zoo and I am not the kind of Animal they wish to have I guess..lol

Keep in touch.

Banning Ken Smith from the TalkBass site is just like banning Bob Moog from a synthesizer site or banning Les Paul from a guitar site.
Unbeliveble and crazy (for sure stupid).
The world is upside down these days, my friends.
Unfortunately mediocrity rules there.

Best regards

Totally agree with that man!! the worst thing is those selftittle "luthiers" i posted something there and this one guy that suppostly is studying to become a "luthier" say that humidity have no effect on the instrument, is unbelivable man!!! and them u have those guys that need the exact measures of the bass to perform string height, and a specific brand tuner when performing a setup, i respect performing setups by the book, but at the end , Ear & Feel will always dictate the comfort of the instrument.
