Hey from down under!

Hi folks,

Greetings from warm-to-sunny Sydney!

Just a quick intro to say I got a killer deal on a used/mint '03 flame-maple BSRM5 a few weeks ago, so I finally entered the Smith fraternity and am having a blast getting to know my new PRECIOUS. It's already proven itself to be a fantastic purchase and a killer bass, possibly even the best sounding bass for the buck I've owned so far....

I guess the question which springs to mind, is, why did I waste so much time and money on various Alembic basses over the years, when the expressive and funky sound I was looking for, is inherent in *every* Smith bass?!?!?! Um, oops!

Pics soon, as my wife (the photographer in the family) has just returned from a trip away, with the good camera.

Cheers,

Justin
