I just sold them a bunch or 18v units, the same we put in our basses. I think it's save to assume they will be using that unit in these basses. Hajime or Sleek Elite in Japan is producing them. Maybe some of these questions should be directed at him, you think? He is a member here so why not get the info straight from the source?

Funny thing I just noticed. On the Member List under 'H', Hajime's name is right after Hadrien's..

Question some questions

Ken,

1- will this bass have the same neck specifications of a 5 strings Burner from '90?
2- What about price?
3- What kind of wood on top and body?
4- What about a four strings?

These questions are 'cause I'm a Burner fan . It's a very rare bird in Brazil maybe a new...

Thanks.

I just posted this above so read it again please!

I don't know when these will be available here in USA or even WHO will be selling them. I will look at the prices and see if it's something we want to handle directly here in USA. I think these will be quite expensive. At lease twice the price or the old Burner Artist model but then again, we haven't made those for about 15 years either. Double price seems about right given the 15 year difference and the added features the Burner Artist didn't have.

Default What the lastest on the Signature Bass

Smith-heads (smile),

What's the latest on the Signature Bass? Does any one have leads?
I have not found any responses from Hajime of the Sleek-Elite.

Interesting smith bass - with narrow-spacing? 16mm or something like that?

18v preamp - with 5 knobs.

Like everyone else, I wonder what the price will be? I own two smith basses (BMT 6 & MD7) - so I am good for now.

You never know when GAS will get you
