Ronen, am really diggin' your photography, especially Your bass in front of those cushions. It really brings out the beauty of the bass, which in turn makes me realize the importance of a good background in my pictures. Thanks.

Hey Ed,
Thanks! I also think it came out pretty nice but it's pure luck, I wasn't thinking about it. On the other hand, you really need to make a big mistake for a bass like this to look bad

EDIT -
The back is beautiful too... last shot from the same session:

Default The Smith is part of the Family
My smith is part of my family. If my house were burning, besides my family, there are two things I'd run back in for: My Smith Bass for obvious reasons and my laptop, way to much info on it.

Here are a few family pics.
















This last pic doesn't quite show how great the exhibition grade quilted maple top pops.

I finally got my dream bass, the old mighty BMT6. I had the privilege to play it today at my church and I was blown away. Amazing instrument, truly a work of art and craftsmanship.

This is the Hybrid between the BMT and BSR but basically a BMT with the BT point instead of the scoop which is sort of how the BSR was born. Beautiful Bass.

Just purchased this, needless to say Im very happy playing it, I love the 5 piece body also, The quality is tangible.....

Does the "S" at the end of serial stand for Shedua? Also what model is this exactly?
