Are Ken Smith Basses heavy or is it just me?

[Tim Bishop]

If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, if the bass feels great in my hands, plays and sounds great, and it's a bit on the "heavy side", ask me if I care.

Well, it's time to take up the offering, 'cuz you just preached the truth, Mr. Bishop!

I have always like heavy basses. The position of the neck just seems more stable especially when you are doing difficult lines that require you to change position quickly up and down the neck. Sounds a little corny, but it's true!

Personally think my BMTE6G Fretted and BSRE6G Frettless are perfect weight...

The Frettless is lighter for some reason

FWIW it's always possible to chamber denser body cores out if weight is an issue for some. Alembic do it with super dense mahogany and the range of basses I'm currently developing will feature it as well although I prefer the sound of alder for the prototypes. But we might offer mahogany as an option too.

If anybody does not like the weight of there Smith i will be glad to take them of your hands[for free of course] There is nothing and i mean nothing like my 91 BTG6 Ebony. I sent it to Ken for some TLC and when he heard the tone, his words were and i quote, "This Bass Is Slammin" No more to be said.
