Is there a diference?

[Bob Faulkner]

There will be slight tonal differences, but honestly, Smiths are extremely consistent basses, so you really should probably just sit down and play both and decide based on how they feel (again very consistent basses) and look.

The cocobolo and walnut bass will probably be heavier than the mahogany and walnut bass. Ken might be able to give you a better idea of the tone you can expect, but again.. VERY consistent basses.

these are both bsr6eg basses right?

Hi Bob,

Yes they are both bsr6 elites, problem is i'm in the uk & one is in germany & the other is in the us, there doesent seem to be any for sale over here so i'm looking further afield,

[Bob Faulkner]

honestly then, pick based on looks, condition, weight, price, etc. Any discussions about the tonal differences is so full of subjective opinion as to be called almost useless.

Ok the sexiest one wins, i'll let you know what one i go for

I have a similar question. I am going to finalize my order tomorrow, once everyone gets back from labor day vacation.
I am in Israel, there are no Smith dealers here.

I was "locked" the whole week on a specific BSR6TN and then the dealer offered me a BSR6EG as an option, with Maple top/back.
What is the tonal difference between Walnut top/back and Maple top/back?

Is there a tonal difference between 3 pc. and 5 pc. wings?

I play soft jazz, blues, R&B. I like a round, mellow tone with focused mids, but sometimes I enjoy slapping too.

I know that I can't get wrong. It's like choosing between a black or white Mercedes. Either way it's a Mercedes. But still, what will work better for me?

Thanks
Maurice
