Show your Smith bass!

Hi!

Here's some pics of my 6-strings:

-90 BT6 (could someone tell me the correct model name?)


-03 BSR6GN







And my newest BSR5M (is that the correct name for it?) from -01.

"Correct model name"? I'd say BT6. What does the serial number say?

Looks like a BSR5M to me.

Hi Tim, and everyody else off course!

As promissed a picture of the BSR 5EG FX I've traded for my Alembic
and my other BSR 5EG.
Without any doubt the best basses I've ever played.
That means the sound as well as playability and looks!
Really amazing! Keep up the good work Ken!
And thanks Rainer for introducing me to Smith Basses!

Greetz,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,

The basses look great. However, I clicked on the pictures, but I am unable to see the larger view of your basses. Seems to be something wrong with the ability to view your pics in a larger view. Could it be the image is too large either in file size or dimension? I'll try again later.

I don't think the issue I'm seeing has anything to do with a "local" (yours or my) computer. I think it is more tied to the "Host" or the Server in which the Forum resides. Maybe Mike can take a look at it and determine. Again, for the sake of posterity, I'm talking about the Thumbnails in post no. 376.

Yes, 376 is fine. I click on them and they blow up in a small window with a black background. I click That and it opens in a new page. I click THAT and it gets even bigger?

So, Where is the Problem? Not here that I can see!

Thumbs in post 376 open just fine for me. Try it on a different computer Tim.

So, Ken, are you clicking on the Thumbnails he provided in post no. 376? And if so, you are able to see the enlarged view?

I'm getting the same results as before when I click on the thumbnails in your original post (post no. 376). However, your links you provided in your follow-up reply are working fine.

Can any of you give me some info about my Ken Smith bass I purchased . I have no idea what model or type of woods used or why they were used at that particular time. The necks I usually see are 3 or 4 piece as this one seems to be a one piece construction. I am not complaining, but would like to know what it is that I have, and it's price range as far as KS basses go, and if it is on the upper end or lower end of KS basses. Thanks for any info !

Well, your serial number would reveal more information about the bass. The neck is a 3 pc. maple with a Pau Ferro fretboard. Never saw a Smith 4 pc. or 1 pc. neck. Based on the pics (a side view would be helpful), looks like a 3 pc. body: Maple top and back with a walnut core. This model is one of the BT models: Which one, I'm not sure. Again, the serial number would be helpful. Look at the end of the fretboard or inside back cover for serial number.

Nice bass!

I found the original place of purchase, well not THEE original place, (Ken Smith's Shop), Ha! But where my seller got the bass from. Does the description seem correct?
Very Clean Ken Smith BSR MS 5 string with Flame maple top and back and Walnut core. 3 pc Maple neck-through with Smith HSC.

I'm curious. Above you describe as "BSR 5EG FX": Where are you seeing or getting "FX"? Serial No.?

Serial is 5EGxxxxxxxFX, meaning (according to Ken) Figured/quilted 5A eXhibition grade maple top.

Yep, was just trying to understand where you were getting the "FX".
