Amazing basses, aren't they? None better.

Default New to Ken Smith's Owners Community

Hi all,

I joined the forum last year as I reached out to Ken to know more about his basses. After a bit of research, I managed to travel 400KM to a shop in Japan where I found my first Ken Smith bass.

I got an amazingly gorgeous Ken Smith Black Tiger 5 string, with an Ebony fretboard, hard rock maple neck with Sedua veneers, 4A Figured Crotch Walnut top and back and hard rock maple core. A complete beauty!

Sharing a couple of photos here!

Consider yourself fortunate. There's nothing like a Smith.

Default Happy with my New Ken

Hello colleagues, I have been fans of Ken for 12 years, my first bass was a BSR5MA, eight years later I managed to go for a BSR5MW and a few months later for a 5MW.

Today I am happy, I was finally able to have a Ken Smith Black Tiger... I present them to you.

A jewelry job...long live the master Ken Smith.
