I bought this bass to a guy who change the preamp to a 4 knob glockenlang preamp...

I decided to buy and install the real and the only one Ken Smith 3 knob one and a luthier behind my place worked on it.

He had to make a little peace of wood and add on the hole.

Tell me what do you think...





To Ken,

what do you think about the work on it ?

The repair from 4 knobs back to the original 3 look to be very well done.

Thanks Ken, i was afraid about that but i'm very happy now, a very good job by an excellent french luthier.

Hi to everybody. This is my first time posting here. I started playing bass when I was 12 years old, and when I turned 15 I heard the first Ken Smith bass and I was amazed at the sound it produced! Since that age I've been obsessed with a Ken Smith, I will say it's the bass of my dreams!!! I started playing at church, so by the age of 17 I played with a Christian band down in Mexico so the director of the band bought a Ken Smith bass for me. I was so excited but I didn't enjoy it for the simple fact that it wasn't mine. Lets fast forward that 12 years later and now I own my Ken Smith that I have always wanted, here are the spec.

Model: BSR6GN
Walnut Top & Back/Tiger Maple Core, 5pc Neck through/Macasar Ebony Fingerboard w/Mother of Pearl Top & Side dots, series/parallel switch.

Like I said I haven't not picked up a bass in 12 years so today I received my brand new Ken Smith bass and I practiced for about an hour, my fingers are hurting. The muscle memory is still there but not the agility. I'm very happy with my Ken Smith I finally have my dream bass and it sounds amazing.

I stopped playing bass because I joined the military so I didn't have time to practice and I just left it. But now that I'm settled in I plan on playing again, and even better why not start playing with your dream bass. Ken what do you do to your basses that sound amazing!!! I'm a VERY VERY VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER!!! I'm new here so I don't know how to post pictures of my bass, so here are the links to my facebook.

Thanks Tim for the link, I created a photobucket account hopefully it'll work this time, here are the links. By the way I bought my Ken Smith thru Bass Central down in Florida and those guys are amazing, they were very helpful and military friendly. Here are the links to my new bass, hope this time it works.
