I'm glad you did, Bob. The bass is a thing of beauty, and you look like you're having fun! Play on!!!!

Well, I added a new smith to the family last week... an 03 BSR6GN Maple / Walnut / Maple...

Its on the right in these pix along with my BMTE6G and BSR6EG

I was really hoping to find a LOCAL 5 string fretted for sale, but I stumbled across this one...

Very nice! Man someone played the holy squeeze outta that thing! That's a lot of wear for just 5 years old..

yeah he did...

but also, the bass does not have the laquer finish on it, so it is going to wear more...

My BMT has seen probably more play, but with the laquer finish, it protects my nails from digging into the wood in the same places... on my BMT you can see dents in the laquer but no damage to the wood...

but the finish on that bass is nice and fast on the neck!

here is one of mine. nothing fancy but she plays herself. and she dont mind hanging next to a fender! when ya see it in person, the grain show through. but in the pic its just a wash. but i do love the smith basses. ill probably get a new one after christmas. something like Bob's. i like that one.

If it's mine you're referring to you can't order a new one like it.. Ken doesn't stock Koa anymore, and the core wood in mine is Koa.. But you can get one close at least
