Smith Bass Design and its History (The on-line Book in the making)

[Joshua Phelps]

I do strongly dislike when companies give basses away to high profile players then charge much less know players & hobists $10.000 & a 1 year waiting period for a very average bass. That's one thing I've always liked about smith basses is they dont give them away. That & they are great basses for a very reasonable price.

So all those guys get a free "signature" bass? I never knew that.

Hey desmund,

I have no idea that's just the rumor.

I can't wait 16 months for a bass. A lot can happen in that time period. Have a child, buy a house, relocate, lose interest, go broke, too much can happen.
